Why to visit Musée d'Orsay

Because of the vast collection of fine art on display, the museum's interior design has been dubbed a "castle of fine art." The Musee d'Orsay now holds a multitude of exhibitions, film screenings, concerts, and plays. It also houses various historical antiques and artefacts. The Musee d'Orsay clock, artworks by Renoir, Cézanne, Gaugin, Dali, Monet, and Van Gogh, sculptures, architectural constructions, and various other ornamental arts are among the museum's most popular artefacts.

The iconic self-portrait, Starry Night over the Rhone, Whistler's mother, and the Artist's studio are some of the more noteworthy artefacts of the past. Two new storeys were carved out of the previous architecture when it was refurbished into a museum. Paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the 19th century can currently be seen on the ground floor, while artworks from 1874 to 1886 can be found on the top floor.

Musee d'Orsay, located on the banks of the Seine River in Paris, is a renowned site for collective art spaces specialising in French art. It was built as a train station, but over time it was transformed into a museum. This exhibition hall, which represents impressionist and postimpressionist art genres, has enticed visitors and art lovers from all over the world. The design of the Musee d'Orsay was conceived by Gae Aulenti in 1980, and it took more than seven years to build.
