  • With its immense 175-metre long hall, Orsay houses the largest collection of Impressionist art in the world. Inaugurated on 1 December 1986 by François Mitterrand, the stone and steel building has been a classified historical monument since 1978.
    Several times destined to be demolished, the Orsay station has been the subject of much debate, before finally being turned into a museum, the missing link between the Louvre and the Pompidou centre. Since then, the building has never ceased to feed the architects' fantasies.
    Project after project, the Musée d'Orsay has grown, illuminated, to attract ever more visitors. Discover how these challenges have been met at each new development, to modernise this monument while preserving its historic cachet.

    It is so good That Paris preserved it, unlike New York which demolished it's much loved Pennsylvania Station.

      I had the same thought - the construction techniques were even similar, as I recall, and just as innovative.

      New York didn't do anything. The Pennsylvania railway demolished it.

      Partially. I doubt that’s what the ground floors of the interior looked like. The 60s vandals had their modernist ways at least partly installed 1:16

    Loved this! Musée d’Orsay is so beautiful and was one of my highlights of Paris. I feel like it’s so underrated but well worth the visit. It’s so striking from the other side of the river. The craftsmanship is amazing. Can’t wait for part two!

    This is a very good video. It would be better with corrected subtitles. Many are incorrect, incomplete, or misleading. It would probably take someone an hour to edit them, not a big investment of time, but a huge improvement in making this material accessible to everyone.

    very interesting. i wonder if this was the station recreated in Martin Scorsese's wonderful film, Hugo, about director Georges Méliès?

    How about you use a pop filter on your microphone next time, horrible plosive sound at times..

    Nice history. I enjoyed watching the production.
    I was surprised by the half-righ and half-wring pronunciations of French words. He got the -aux right in universaux, but he pronounced the u like an English u. 😮
    Oh, no. I take it back. He's pronouncing you-nee-ver-so, but that is the pronunciation of the masculine plural form ending in -aux, but he should be saying universelle, the feminine singular to agree with the noun exposition.
    Butchered pronunciation and no understanding of French.

      As a French, I find those mistakes lovely.
      Foreign French has its quirks. I was 32 years old and 18650km from France when I first heard about “l’esprit d’escalier”… Words only known abroad.
