Orsay museum was a railway station in 1900 offering to travelers to enter the nearby World Fair 1900. Used at the end of the WWII to bring back prisoners and war workers from Germany as well as refugees. Closed, then reopened as a museum in 1986 to relieve the Louvre of its heavy collections, it shows the evolution of art between the 1850's until WWI.
