Musée d'Orsay

One of the most famous and popular museums in Paris, The Musée d'Orsay was originally built as a railway station. But eventually it was found to be too small to house the growing passenger trains. Thankfully for us, because the building is the perfect place to house these incredible works of art. The building itself is an art piece. The enormous clock, the glazed dome ceiling and great hall. It holds mainly Impressionism, Naturalism, Symbolism paintings, Art Nouveau works, sculptures of Auguste Rodin and Camille Claudel, etc. This museum surely offers you a relaxing time under the bright natural sunlight.

Principal artists and works:
Millet The Gleaners, Manet Olympia, Renoir Moulin de la Galette, Monet Saint Lazare, van Gogh Starry Night, The Church in Auvers-sur-Oise, Gallé and Guimards Art Nouveau works, Rodin, Claudel, Caillebotte, Cezanne, Degas, Gauguinetc.
