• The old train hall is the main floor, a long sculpture-lined nave under a glass roof that gives kids room to look up and move
• Paintings kids may recognize, including Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles and Starry Night Over the Rhône, so pick two or three to find before you go
• Tuileries playground nearby, about 500 meters away across the Seine, for a run-around after the galleries

The Musée d'Orsay fills a former railway station, built 1898 to 1900 on the Left Bank of the Seine. Under the glass roof of the old train hall, a long central nave is lined with sculptures, and a gilded station clock hangs at one end.

The galleries hold Impressionist paintings kids may know from books: Van Gogh's Starry Night Over the Rhône and Monet's Blue Water Lilies.
