Description
Orsay Museum at dusk. Paris, France.
The Musee d'Orsay, the Seine river and the grand Palais at the bottom as seen from the Punt Royal while the sun ends its daily journey.
The Orsay Museum was a Beaux-Arts railway station inaugurated in 1900. The main facade was comprised between two clock towers. There is a restaurant behind the western clock and the museum galleries open to the eastern one, the one in the picture.
Orsay is considered the chronological continuation of the Louvre painting and sculpture collections and houses the largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world, by painters including Monet, Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin, and Van Gogh.
As for Paris... What can one say about the City of Light that has not already been said?
