Theme day : Time

To celebrate the month theme day which is Time I present the Orsay Museum clock. This museum is a former railway station that is why you can see inscriptions "Paris - Orléans" as the trains from there where going to this city in the center of France.

Clock at the musée d'Orsay

The musée d'Orsay is a former railway station and they kept some of the big beautiful clocks inside the museum.

I've already posted photos of the inside of the Orsay Museum. Here is a view from across the Seine of this beautiful former railway station which has been transformed into one of the best Paris museum.

Walking on Paris

Some of the comments of yesterday post talked about this spot in the Orsay museum where you can walk uppon a Paris model. The picture is not really good but I thought it could show the place to those who did not see it yet. In the museum this place is right in front of the opéra model I posted yesterday.

Opera model

As Joan told us in her comment on my Musée d'Orsay post, there is a model of the Opéra house in that museum and there it is. It's a cut of the whole building so that anyone can see how it was built. Great to see how high above and deep below the stage it is. 

Musée d'Orsay

Certainly one of my favorite museums in Paris. Not only for its great collection on Impressionism paintings (Monet, Degas, renoir, Cezane ...) but also for the building itself, an old railway station beautifuly transformed.
It lies on the river bank facing the Louvre and the Tuileries which you can walk to using a pedestrian bridge called the "Passerelle Solférino".
