Comment

Located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris along the left bank of the Seine, overlooking the Promenade Édouard-Glissant, the museum is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, built by Victor Laloux between 1898 and 1900 and converted into a museum on the initiative of French President Valéry Giscard d'Estaing. Its collections present Western art from 1848 to 1914, in all its diversity: painting, sculpture, decorative arts, graphic art, photography, architecture and more. It is one of the largest museums in Europe for this period. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mus%C3%A9e_d%27Orsay
