Part of an exhibition of sumptuous Art Nouveau furntiure and interior design at the Musee d'Orsay. The spectacular Musee d'Orsay in Paris is the city's premier museum after the Louvre and opened in 1986 as an imaginative conversion of the former station building of the Gare Orsay. The building is a fine example of late 19th century architecture, thus the perfect home for a collection of 19th century art.
