When did the musee d'Orsay open?

The Musée d'Orsay officially opened to the public on December 9, 1986. Housed in a former railway station, the museum showcases an extensive collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, primarily from the period 1848 to 1914. Its transformation from a train station to a museum was part of a broader effort to preserve and repurpose historic buildings in Paris.
