Museum of Orsay

Another great experience in Paris is the Musée d'Orsay, the old Orsay railway station, which has been restored and converted into an incredible museum of mainly French art from the period 1848 - 1914. But there are almost always special exhibitions, and preferably several at a time, so it's definitely worth stopping by - get off at Solferino metro station and turn right down Rue de Bellechasse.
