Sometimes, a museum can be attractive even disregarding the collections and expositions inside. A perfect example is the Musée d'Orsay.
Right on the bank of the river Seine, opposite the gigantic, world-famous Louvre, is the Musée d'Orsay. This spot was once occupied by the Palais d'Orsay, which was burned down during the Commune revolt in 1871. The current building was originally built as a railway station, inaugurated in 1900 as the first railway station with electrical power, for the World Fair of that year. While the station was very advanced at its inauguration, it became too small with the evolution of rail travel. It served other purposes like a mail centre, point of return for prisoners of war, and setting for movies, before it closed down completely in 1973.
