The Musée d’Orsay is undoubtedly one of the Parisian museums worth more than just one visit. The building itself is an old railway station, built for the world’s fair of 1900, and its successful transformation into a museum was carried out by a team led by Game Aulenti, which alone should arouse your curiosity. The exhibition area occupies 16. 853 m², and there are 80 galleries and rooms housing the museum’s collection, with works from the period 1848-1914, as well as exhibitions.
The novel by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky “Crime and Punishment” gives the title to this original and interesting exhibition, which opened on March 16 and runs until June 27, 2010. Crime and punitive systems, and their political, legal and social implications constitute an interesting thematic framework for this curatorial exploration, which will surely give rise to much discussion. Crime literature is also one of the genres most appreciated by readers worldwide.
The exhibition offers a historical and artistic vision of crime and its punishment, worth visiting for its perspective on issues which continue being important in the present day. To take advantage of the city to rent apartments in Paris, where you can relax just like at home.
