Le Musée d'Orsay
The Musée d'Orsay was built off from what was originally a railway station. The actual museum wasn't actually established until 1986. The ruler who commissioned Georges Pompidou and the architects who do this is Pierre Colboc, Renaud Bardon, Jean-Paul Philippon, and Gae Aulenti. The purpose of building this museum was to have a in-between for the Louvre and the Museum of Modern Art. There are more than 25,000 artworks here and many different types as well. The different types of artwork there are paintings, sculptures, furniture, and the photography. Some interesting facts about the Orsay Museum is that it has glass walkway which was originally from the railway station.
