Opened in 1986 in the building of the former Orsay station, one of the last jewels of 19th-century steel architecture, the museum, dedicated to art between 1848 and 1914, has succeeded over the decades in renewing its face.

About the location

The Musée d'Orsay presents the art of the few decades between 1848 and 1914\. Painting, sculpture, photography, decorative arts and graphic arts: all the arts of the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries took place in the former station of Orsay, a building built for the Universal Exhibition of 1900\. Thus, the building is in a way the first "work" of the museum’s collections.
