Musee d'Orsay (Paris)

Musee d'Orsay housed in a former train station (1900) facing the Seine from quai Anatole France, displays France's national collection of paintings, sculptures, objets d'art and other works produced between the 1840s and 1914, including the fruits of the Impres¬sionist, postimpressionist and Art Nouveau movements. Many visitors head straight to the upper level (lit by a skylight) to see the famous Impressionist paintings by Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Degas and Manet and the postimpressionist works by Gauguin, Cezanne, Van Gogh, Seurat and Matisse, but there's also a great deal to see on the ground floor, including some early works by Manet, Monet, Renoir and Pissarro.
