Located along the Seine River overlooking The Louvre Museum, there is an interesting history behind Musée d'Orsay.  Once a rail station serving Paris-Orléans, known as Gare d'Orsay, it was shut down in 1939.  Musee d'Orasy re-opened as a museum in 1989.  Many of the art work presented at Musee d'Orsay was brought over form The Louvre.

Inside you can find great important paintings, sculptures, decorative arts and furniture from 1848 to 1914.  The wonderful work of some famous painters such as Van Gogh, Renoir and Monet can be viewed in this museum.
