[France/Paris] A popular tourist spot! A treasure trove of impressionist works Musée d'Orsay

#HotOverseasPlaces #MuseumTour

Introducing the Musée d'Orsay, a museum that houses many artworks by the "Impressionist" movement, which was popular in France in the late 19th century, such as Monet, Van Gogh, and Renoir.

The Musée d'Orsay has a long history, having been established as a "train station🚉" during the Paris World's Fair in 1900.

It then opened in December 1986 as a museum that collects art from the 19th to early 20th centuries, including Impressionist works.

The main floor retains its arched atrium structure, giving the space a somewhat train station atmosphere. The large wall clock is one of the highlights of this museum.

There were several restaurants and cafes inside the museum, so we spent about half a day enjoying the Musée d'Orsay, taking breaks here and there♪
