O Musée d'Orsay reúne a maior coleção do mundo de arte impressionista e pós-impressionista, abrangendo obras criadas entre 1848 e 1914. Ocupa a Gare d'Orsay, uma estação ferroviária em estilo Beaux-Arts construída para a Exposition Universelle de 1900 e convertida em museu, inaugurado em 1986. As galerias exibem pinturas de Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cézanne, Van Gogh e Gauguin, ao lado de escultura, fotografia e artes decorativas Art Nouveau. A imponente nave central, ainda coroada pelo grande relógio dourado da antiga estação, tem vista sobre o Sena para o Louvre e as Tuileries.
