Inside the Musee d'Orsay
Along the left bank of the Seine, the world's most famous museum of impressionistic art had a former life as an old, crumbling train station and hotel. Now, linking the chronological gap between the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou, the Musee d'Orsay in Paris is always a treat to see and experience as a radiant success in adaptive reuse.

I loved the Musee d'Orsay! I was only 21 when I visited Paris, but I cannot wait to return. Impressionism is my favorite period, with such rich textures and color palettes. The idea of using an old train station to house such beauty only adds to the character and mystery of such art.
