About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée d'Orsay in Paris opens at five in the morning in 1962, when Orson Welles wandered an abandoned railway station on the Seine looking for a place to film Kafka. You'll learn who designed the station for the 1900 World's Fair and why no steam ever darkened its glass vault. Best heard standing in the central nave, under the great clock.
