- 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.

Espetacular documentário sobre o nosso querido Museu d'Orsay!
i am not sleeping tonight it seems (part 2 dropped YIPPEE)
If a sparrow farts without in any proximity to the _Station_ then the *French* sense this befowling and diresome vibration, and they immediately take remedial action. They know, ho yes, they are in the know on it... No expense is spared in maintaining the Stasis from any entropy or exigency. Ainsi soient les *français.* 🐓
I first saw Orsay during its opening for which there were several days. It is generally excellently achieved though with one glaring exception. The ground floor decor is quite ugly with large rectangular blocks of stone that do no harmonize with the rest of the museum. It seems to be a sort of pseudo-Egyptian monument. It is more than disappointing, it is annoying.
