Built in 1900 by Victor Laloux for the World Fair, Gare d'Orsay was the first railway station to run electric trains in Paris. Threatened with demolition in the 1970s, and saved only by protesting Parisians, the former station became a listed building. Its conversion into a museum in 1979 was entrusted to Milanese architect Gae Aulenti. Since its opening in 1986, the museum has housed a variety of works from the period 1848-1914. Known primarily for its Impressionist collection, Interior (1980-1987)
