Situated on the left bank of Paris, the Musée d’Orsay – organized on three levels – presents all the different kinds of art (architecture, painting, cinema, photographs etc.), forming a large panorama on the French and European art from 1848 to 1914.

The Musée d’Orsay owns 6,000 works of art 3,000 of which are exposed. The rest is conserved in the storeroom. These works of art essentially come from the Musée du Louvre, the Musée du Jeu de Paume and the Musée National d’Art Moderne.
