A two-part question this, as it was not built as a museum, but as a railway station for the 1900 Universal Exposition. It ceased to be a railway station during the secind world war, and served various temporary purposes until finally closing in 1973. The idea of a Museum came up in 1975, and it finally opened in 1986,
During the impressionist period in the years around 1898 and 1900 but the building wasn't a museum until 1980. The building mostly consists of art from the impressionist period because it was established around that time.
The Musee D'Orsay is located in the city of Paris, in the country of France. It is also located geographically on the left bank of the Seine River (which is also in Paris.)
it took 13 years
It is estimated that if you looked at every piece of art in the Louvre for 30 seconds without any breaks, it would take you 100 days to see it all.
If you head North from the Tower until you hit the Seine and then turn right and walk alond the river, it will take you 30-45 minutes. It's not the most direct route but it is very beautiful as you can see a lot of the city. The museum will be on your right, it has huge statues of animals outisde where you buy your tickets.
Art museums are designed to collect and display significant pieces of art. Some art museums also collect information on artists. A museum owns many pieces of art, called a collection, and only displays a fraction of the collection.
The Musee D'Orsay is always acquiring new pieces, a total number is difficult to say. There are 3 floors with many wings, it is an extensive collection. There is a catalogue of the works, available in French only. See the link below.
Most go-karts take gas but some take electric. It really depends what they're built to take.

The Louvre is ever changing. On the official web site is the quote 'Open to all since 1793'. Originally a fortress built in the 12th century by Phillippe August, it later became a royal palace in the 16th century during the reign of François I. Henry the IV joined the Louvre to the Tuileries (built for Catherine de Medicis) in 1594, creating a huge double palace. The pyramid entrance by Ieoh Ming Pei is just tewnty years old in 2009.
At least 45 minutes
No, unfortunately not
The Louvre museum did not have to be built to display the artwork collected by the French because it was already completed. The Louvre was originally built in the 12th century as a royal castle to help defend Paris against attacks. It went through many changes until it was finally opened as a museum of art in 1793 shortly after the end of the French Revolution. The complex of buildings was turned over entirely to art and culture in 1882, when the Palace of the French monarchy was demolished. It has taken about 700 years from its start as a castle to the museum it is today.
== == Disneyland Paris is served by the RER Marne La Vallee Chessy station. One needs to use the RER-Line A. The nearest RER station to the Louvre where one can board RER-Line A is the Châtelet - Les Halles (Paris RER station). The Louvre is about 1.5km (one mile) to the Châtelet - Les Halles (RER station). One can walk. If one wants to use the metro, then go to the Palais Royal/Louvre metro station; take either Line 1 or Line 7; go to/get off at the Chatelet metro station, and board the RER-Line A to Marne La Vallee Chessy.
