Orsay Museum. Paris

The album Orsay Museum is devoted to a number of masterpieces from the largest meeting of French painting in the middle of the XIX - early XX century. Opened in 1986 in Paris, the Orsay Museum annually attracts many thousands of visitors who want to see here first of all the pictures of impressionists and postmingnessists, whose work is presented in the museum exposition with the maximum fullness. However, the Musee D"Orsay Directorate seeks to give the audience an equally complete presentation and other domestic schools - salon-academic, realistic, symbolist and others - without giving an obvious preference to any. This principle of feeding "material" is preserved and in the album, which the reader holds in his hands.
