brief introduction

Musee-Orsay.fr: The Musée d'Art d'Orsay is one of the three major art treasures in Paris today, with a collection of 19th and 20th century Impressionist paintings as its main focus, and works such as the Garret Mill Ball by Renoir, Van Gogh's self-portrait, and Monet's Blue Water Lilies are among the museum's treasures.

Musée d'Orsay The Musée d'Orsay, once described as "the most beautiful museum in Europe," is located on the left bank of the Seine River in Paris, across the river from the Louvre. The collection of the Orsay Museum is vast, with more than 4,700 works of modern art, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, handicrafts, architecture, photography and almost all other art disciplines. One of the most prestigious collections is the fine art of the second half of the 19th century. The Musée d'Orsay has collected many works of art from various countries, and many others from the Louvre. The exhibits of the Musée d'Orsay are located on the ground, middle and top floors of the hall, according to the age and genre of the artists.

In 1970, this address was the site of the "National Audit Office", the original building destroyed during the "Paris Commune". In 1939, the station was abandoned. 1973, the then president of the French Republic, Georges Pompidou, proposed to use it to build a national museum, from the "Second Reich" of Napoleon III to the "Second Empire". The Musée d'Orsay is indeed worthy of the name. The Musée d'Orsay is indeed the perfect intermediary between the Louvre, the temple of ancient art, and the Pompidou Center, the temple of modern art. Today, the museum has a collection of more than 4,000 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, design drawings and furniture displays, with over 45,000 square meters of exhibition space.

The Musée d'Orsay, together with the Louvre and the Pompidou Center, is known as one of the three major art museums in Paris. The museum mainly exhibits Western art works created between 1848 and 1914, gathering the essence of modern French culture and art, filling the gap between ancient art and modern art in the history of French culture and art development, making the Musée d'Orsay a perfect intermediate transition between the Louvre, the temple of ancient art, and the Pompidou Center, the temple of modern art.

The Musée d'Orsay was converted from a long-abandoned railway station in Orsay and opened at the end of 1986. The renovated museum is 140 meters long, 40 meters wide and 32 meters high, with a 35,000 square meter glass canopy on top. The museum has a usable area of more than 57,000 square meters, with 80 exhibition halls or showrooms and 47,000 square meters of exhibition space, including 16,000 square meters of permanent exhibition halls.
