(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Photo feature by Mariam Al-Zanki PARIS, Dec 13 (KUNA) -- The d'Orsay Museum, laying on the Left Bank of the Seine, houses a potpourri of fine art and is a major tourist attraction.

The Museum witnessed several changes over time, as it was initially a railway station in 1899-1900, then became a post office in the Second World War before turning into a movie set and eventually a museum of fine arts and sculptures for famous artists such as Picasso and Van Gogh. (end) mjz.gaa
