The grand Musee D’Orsay in Paris was a train station in its first incarnation. It seems quite fitting that images of art work from the popular museum are now gracing French trains. SNCF, the state-owned railway, is covering the walls and ceilings of regional train cars with graphic film copies of great works of impressionist paintings, as well as images from Versailles,the Cinema Gaumont, and Musee D’Orsay decoration.
