Once a train station--the Musée d'Orsay

The Musée d'Orsay is located on the left bank of the Seine, not far from the Louvre. It was transformed from a former train station, combining classical and modern elements. The ground floor features a grand array of sculptures in the center, flanked by galleries with many famous paintings and sculptures. At the end of the ground floor, there is a huge projection with an overhead view of the entire Paris, where everyone can find many landmark buildings. The second floor continues to house galleries and sculpture exhibitions, truly a testament to the abundance of artistic talent in France. Continuing upstairs, the staircase is clearly a later addition, as it is made of steel structure, reminiscent of climbing the Eiffel Tower, with a clanging sound as you ascend. This floor is particularly worth the climb because it houses many classic masterpieces by the famous painter Vincent van Gogh. This gallery mainly features Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works. Art lovers will definitely fall in love with the Musée d'Orsay.
