Sometimes, a museum can be attractive even disregarding the collections and expositions inside. A perfect example is the Musée d'Orsay.
Apart from the collections of the museum, walking in the building is a pleasure in itself. Light, both natural and electrical, is used cleverly to illuminate the building inside, a special light advisor was hired to accomplish this. Three different storeys were built inside, connected by stairways and elevators, to house the works of art. It is only when you arrive at the third storey that you can clearly see where the platforms have been once. A huge clock inside, and one outside, are further reminders that this place once was a bustling railway station.
