Turn of the 20th Century Gems in Paris

Musee D’Orsay Clock

I was mining my old photos for my portfolio and I ran across this beautiful clock window from the Musee D’Orsay in Paris. The Louvre is great, but you can’t beat the architecture of this transformed train station. If you look closely the Sacre Couer is in the background.

Musee D’Orsay, this converted train station was inaugurated as part of the 1900 Worlds Fair in Paris

Here are a few more gems from the steam era. I absolutely love arte nouveau like the Metro gate below. I got to see a lot of it and modernisme while studying abroad in Spain.
