A beautiful place

The art in the Musée d'Orsay is just stunning. And the building itself is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. Famspear 19:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Impressionism?

Uhm to my best recollection the Musée d'Orsay is probably _the_ most important collection of impressionist painting, yet the article completely eschews the word opting instead for a time period... Is this intentional? chochem 11:38, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

designer: Gae Aulenti

I always thought Musée d'Orsay [at least in part] was designed by Gae Aulenti?! Xquared (talk) 06:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closing to Trains ?

Having visited the Musée d'Orsay recently, the impression that I got was that the station had become a suburban trains only station very quickly after it was built, and had closed far earlier than the 1939 suggested - but was brought back into use after the war to deal with refugee distribution. I saw different dates for its closure suggested - strangely all ended in '9 - 1909 and 1929 - can anyone verify this ?

Courbet's Studio

A video artist exhibited a temporary display in reaction to Courbet's The Artist's Studio in recent years. Does anyone know this video artist's name? Devicide (talk) 16:08, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tracks / replacement station

I am not a Paris railfan, but it would be interesting to know what happened to the tracks and how the infill of the riverside development went. It would appear that Gare d'Austerlitz is the Terminus for Orleans and other Central France destinations now. It also appears there are some semblance of tracks still running underground near the station. Group29 (talk) 13:19, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Photography ban

The museum recently (2010/2011?) banned photography, claiming that this was to protect vulnerable artworks and prevent inconvenience to visitors. This appears to have caused a certain amount of resentment amongst serious photographers (speaking personally, it's certainly one less reason to visit Paris). There should be a mention of this in the article. Lee M (talk) 18:17, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Image incorrectly identified

Le Déjeuner Sur L'herbe is by Edouard Manet not Claude Monet. 2602:306:CD65:EA60:DD02:158A:FAE3:67CD (talk) 02:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)L.B.[reply]

Duplicate images

There are two images of Gustave Courbet's The Artist's Studio 1855. Perhaps one might go and make space for another? Arrivisto (talk) 22:05, 4 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
