Known the world over for its rich collection of impressionist art, the Musée d'Orsay is also the museum hosting a wealth of artistic creations from the eastern world between 1848 and 1914.  Its collections represent all forms of expression, from paintings to architecture, through sculpture, the decorative arts and photography.  You will be dazzled by the beauty of the place: a station that seems to be a palace, inaugurated for the Universal Exhibition in 1900.
