My first full day in Paris started at the Musee Orsay, located directly across the Seine River from the Louvre and Tulleries garden. The Orsay museum houses a collection of painting, sculpture and other works dating from 1850 through the start of World War I - including works by Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Renoir, Gauguin and others. The museum building is a conversion of the former central railway station of Paris opened in 1900. Images in this gallery are from the main concourse of the Orsay. The concourse is the train platform of the former rail station.
