Day Two in Paris continues... La Musée d'Orsay - July 25th

Taking pictures is not allowed, but I snuck in a few of the building and the view through a clock.

From Wikipedia:
The Musée d'Orsay (French pronunciation: ​[myze dɔʁsɛ]) is a museum in ParisFrance, on the left bank of the Seine. It is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, an impressive Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900. The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. It houses the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces in the world, by such painters such as MonetManetDegasRenoirCézanneSeuratSisleyGauguin and Van Gogh. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.
