Musée d'Orsay, Paris

The Musée d’Orsay is a museum in Paris. It was built in the former Gate d’Orsay railway station between 1898 and 1900. It has the largest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces.

It features two large clocks on the exterior of the Musée d’Orsay. In addition, the interior is characterized by an arch-shaped dome and large watch assembled with steel frames.

I was able to see the city of Paris from the inside of the big clock which was seen from the outside.

Olympia is one of the most famous painting by Édouard Manet. It first exhibited at the 1865 Paris Salon. Olympia’s confrontational gaze caused shock and astonishment when the painting was first exhibited because a number of details in the picture identified her as a prostitute.

It was sunny on that day, so many people enjoyed basking in the sun in the park near the museum.
