Le musée d’Orsay présente l’art occidental de la période 1848-1914

Avant d'être le musée, Orsay était une gare. Lieu qui a d'ailleurs servi de décor à Orson Welles pour son fameux "Procès".
Depuis son inauguration en 1986, le musée d'Orsay présente des collections variées et intéressantes. Il est donc devenu une référence parisienne et mondiale en matière de culture.
