Musee d'Orsay

The Musee d'Orsay is in what used to be a train station--as you can probably tell from this picture of the interior. The museum specializes in "pre-modern" art (roughly 1848-1914) and houses an incredible collection of Impressionists and post-Impressionists. Here a museum-goer takes a close work at a piece of art.
