Musee D'Orsay

During the afternoon following the Exxon presenation, there was some time for some independent exploration. A number of group members went to the Musee D'Orsay where Professor Maura Coughlin took them on a guided tour through amazing exhibitions of works by Rodin, Picasso, Monet, Manet, Renoir, Van Gogh, Cezzane, and Gauguin. The museum was once the Orsay train statio, which was built in 1900 for the Universal Exhibition. It houses art works from 1848 - 1914.
