A superb example of a successful reconversion, the musée
d'Orsay was redeveloped in the old Gare d'Orsay. built by Victor
Laloux and inaugurated in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition. After having
received the first electric trains, the station was closed in 1939, the
victim of progress. It was registered as a listed building in 1978. The
museum was opened in December 1986 and was dedicated to all artistic production
from 1848 to 1914. Paintings, pastels, sculptures, furniture and objets
d'art, photography and documentary objects reflect the richness and
diversity of this area..
