\"Orsay<\/a>

Explore world famous art at the Orsay Museum in Paris, France<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

The Musee d’Orsay exhibiting the world’s famous art is constructed upon the site of the former Gare d\u2019Orsay railway station. The museum is home to the world’s biggest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist art. The exhibits at the museum are broadly categorized under six heads: Painting collection, Sculpture collection, Objects d’art collection, Photographic collection, Graphic arts collection, and Architecture.<\/p>\n

Some of the prominent paintings at the museum include A Burial at Ornans, Spring, Angelus, Olympia, The Poor Fisherman, Girls at the Piano, The Artist’s Family, Lunch on the Grass, The Talisman, The English Pear Tree, Portrait de Marcel Proust, Sc\u00e8ne de f\u00eate, Expulsion from Paradise, The Circle of the Rue Royale, and Triple Portrait of Yvonne Lerolle.<\/p>\n

The Age of Bronze Ratapoil, head of Beethoven, Mediterranean, Peasant Rolling up his Sleeves, Nature Unveiling Herself to Science, Cassandra, and Maturity are some of the notable sculptures at the museum. The Italian architect Gae Aulenti directed a squad of architects and scenographers to finalize the interior design of the museum. A perfect combination of natural and artificial light is used to illumine the museum. The recent renovations performed upon the museum have increased the exhibition space, and have made the walls extravagantly colored.<\/p>\n
