Musee d'OrsayParis, France
4.7 / 11
Museum where collections of impressionists and post-impressionists are exhibited. The building was built at the opening of the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 and was used as a railway station until 1939. The architecture of the museum is a combination of elements of an industrial style with classicism of the 19th century. After the station was closed, it was planned to demolish the house and build a hotel in its place, but then it was decided to organize a museum.

The art collection is amazing, especially for any Impressionist lover, which is on the 5th floor so don’t forget to go up there.

Such a great museum! I am not very interested in art generally but this woke up a new interest in me.
