•   Le Musee d’orsay was originally a railroad station
    called, Gare d’orsay. It was constructed for the
    Chemin de Fer de Paris a Orleans, which was an early
    railroad station in the early 20th century. In 1939 the
    railroad station became unsuitable for longer trains
    and it became a mailing center during World War II.
Originally a man named Eugene Henard, was
supposed to design the railway station. However
many people protested so they came up with
another solution. They said that to design the
railroad station there would be a competition. The
winner of that contest was Leloux. He also designed
the railway station in Tours, France
Le Musee d’orsay has art ranging from 1845-1915. It holds mainly French art.
Some of the things that can be found include: paintings, drawings, photographs,
and sculptures. Some of the artist include: Van Gogh, Degas, Renoir, Monet and
Cezanne.
Le musee d’orsay
started its conversion in
1980. It took 6 to
convert the railroad
station into a museum.
The designers were
Renaud Bardon, Pierre
Colboc and Jean-Paul
Philippon.
Le musee d’orsay is on the left bank of Seine, in Paris. The Seine is famous for its romantic
backdrop in photographs. It is a big tourist attraction. There are boats that offer sight seeing
tours within Paris.
The square of the museum displays six bronze
 allegorical sculptural groups in a row, originally
produced for the Exposition Universelle (1878):
South America by Aimé Millet
Asia by Alexandre Falguière
Oceania by Mathurin Moreau
Europe by Alexandre Schoenewerk
North America by Ernest-Eugène Hiolle
Africa by Eugène Delaplanche
