On Location - Musee d'Orsay Paris, France

As galleries go, this is one of my personal favourites.  With its origins as a train station, the central hall is enormous and flooded with natural light.  Gigantic ornate clock faces located around the building are a reminder of its former purpose and of times gone by.  If, like me, you love impressionist and post-impressionist art, then Musee d'Orsay should be high on your list of places to visit.  Take time to visit one of the cafes inside for a journey to the grand and opulent days gone by.  Contained in this series are a number of art works that got my attention as I wandered through; I take the pictures as a reminder to do research when I get home as it is often too crowded or too time-constrained to take it all in at the time.

A temporary exhibit of paintings by Munch were on display; it was really interesting to get an insight into the artist and what influenced his particular style of painting.

The Musée d'Orsay is a museum in Paris, France, on the Left Bank of the Seine. It is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900. The museum holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography. It houses the largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist masterpieces in the world, by painters including Berthe Morisot, Claude Monet, Édouard Manet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat, Sisley, Gauguin, and van Gogh. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986. It is one of the largest art museums in Europe.
