Musée d'Orsay
The Musee d'Orsay is Paris's temple of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, housed in a magnificently converted Beaux-Arts railway station on the Left Bank opposite the Tuileries Gardens. Its collection spans the period from 1848 to 1914 and includes the world's largest collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, with works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin, and Toulouse-Lautrec in extraordinary depth and quality. The vast nave of the former train station, with its soaring glass roof and ornate iron architecture, provides a dramatic backdrop for one of the world's most beloved art collections.
