Musee d'Orsay Building

This is the ticket entrance to the museum.  There was a huge line on the side of the building.

Once the Orsay Palace, the Orleans railway made this a hotel and station in 1900.  In 1986, it was opened as a museum, covering the second half of the 19th century.

The museum's signature timepiece.  (Click on the clock to take a closer look.)
