The Official Site of the MUSEE d'ORSAY Our page with more Art Works from the Dorsay which are available as prints The MUSEE d'ORSAY is opposite the Seine, facing the Tuilleries and close to the Louvre Museum. Originally a railway station designed by Victor Laloux, winner of the Grand Prix de Rome the plans to build it were accepted in 1898, and it took 2 years to build. By the 1930's it had become outdated and unsuitable for the new trains, and then closed down. After closure the building was used for a wide variety of purposes, awaiting demolition. It was the setting for the Orson Wells movie The Trial, until 1980 the home of the Renaud-Barrault Theatre Company, and later the home of the Drouot-Rive Gauche auction house. In 1973 the facades and decor of the station and hotel were protected by a presentation order, and then the idea of a museum dedicated to the previous century took shape. Restructured to house works of art dating from the second half of the 19th century, over 60 years of cultural and artistic creations in their historical context was planned in this railway station transformed into a museum. Architecture, sculpture, painting, graphic arts, photography, cinematography and the decorative arts, are all represented as well as music and literature . In 1979 a team of architects was selected and in 1982 plans were submitted and work started a year later. In December 1986 after years of research and work, the museum, railway station and hotel were unveiled, spread over 3 floors according to a chronological sequence. The main floor has early 19th century art and the upper floors the then radical Impressionist art.
