The Impressionist Museum
The Musée d'Orsay located on the left bank of the Seine was
formerly a railway station, the Gare d'Orsay. It holds mainly
French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings,
sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best
known for its extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces
by popular painters such as Monet, Pissaro, Degas and Renoir.
Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu
de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.
