Orsay is one of the most visited museums after the Louvre.
Located on the Rive Gauche, Orsay races the evolution of French art and society from 1848 to 1914 via temporary and permanent exhibitions of architecture, sculpture, literature and opera.
Orsay Museum was founded in the former Orsay railway station, a masterpiece of metal architecture of the 1900's.
Its gigantic clocks are among the several iconic features of the building.
This clock is one of two that are located on the northern facade, the facade that overlooks the Louvre which you can clearly see through the glass.
