What you'll see
A grand old railway station with an arched glass roof, now filled with Impressionist paintings: Monet, Renoir, Degas, Van Gogh and Cézanne. Look out through the back of the giant clock face on the top floor.
A brief history
The station was built for the 1900 World's Fair, fell out of use as trains grew longer, and opened as a museum in 1986.
