Jean Baptiste Carpeaux's La France impériale portant la lumière dans le monde et protégeant les Sciences, l'Agriculture et l'Industrie (Imperial France Bringing Light to the World and Protecting Agriculture and Science), was executed from 1863 to 1866 for the facade of the Pavilion de Flore, facing the Seine, in the new Louvre, remodeled by Lefuel.

The Musée d'Orsay (The Orsay Museum), housed in the former railway station, the Gare d'Orsay, holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1914, including paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography, and is probably best known for its extensive collection of impressionist masterpieces by popular painters such as Monet and Renoir. Many of these works were held at the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume prior to the museum's opening in 1986.
