The
Musee D'Orsay is another world class museum in a re-purposed building.
The
artwork of famed Impressionists and others is displayed in a grand Beaux Arts former rail station.
Like the
Louvre, elevators are used to transport people with disabilities to the various
galleries.
Also like
the Louvre, and all other state-operated museums, admission is free for a
disabled visitor and one able bodied companion.
Proof is
required – a European Union “disabled person” card is often mentioned.
But once
they saw that Heidi, pictured above and below by the grand clock in the Orsay,
uses a wheelchair for mobility – we were not hassled about official
documentation of her right to free admission.
