El Musée d'Orsay conserva la col·lecció més important del món d'art impressionista i postimpressionista, amb obres creades entre 1848 i 1914. Ocupa la Gare d'Orsay, una estació de tren d'estil Beaux-Arts construïda per a l'Exposition Universelle de 1900 i transformada en museu, que va obrir les portes el 1986. Les sales exhibeixen pintures de Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, Van Gogh i Gauguin, juntament amb escultura, fotografia i arts decoratives Art Nouveau. La imponent nau central, encara coronada pel gran rellotge daurat de l'antiga estació, s'obre al Sena amb vistes al Louvre i a les Tuileries.
