One of the most interesting museums in Paris, the Musée d'Orsay is home to works of art from all over the world. Browse through each floor and then head up to see this giant clock that overlooks the Seine. When you're there, it's as if you're staring through a window in time, traveling back years ago when the museum was formerly a busy train station.

This image of the interior clock was taken in the Musée d'Orsay on the north side of the building. To get to this spot, walk into the main entrance of the museum and then take the lifts up to the clock — there will be signs.
You should be facing north once you're there, overlooking the Seine.
