Musee d'Orsay

Musee d'Orsay is an impressionist art museum that houses the works of artists like Monet and Van Gogh.  Before it was a museum, it was a train station that was built in the late 1800s.  Inside you can still see the remains of the once train station by the big clock and the main hall of the building.  This museum is much different than the Louvre and is smaller.  The museum is not that old, but the building itself is.  The museum did not open its doors until 1986.  Musee d'Orsay is much more modern than the Louvre and is fun to walk around and explore.
