The mysterious "Salon Noir"

An extraordinary place

Among the many treasures and secrets that the Musée d'Orsay holds, few visitors know about the existence of the Salon Noir , a mysterious room nestled in the depths of the museum. This fascinating place, shrouded in legends and rarely accessible to the public, arouses the curiosity of art lovers and mystery enthusiasts.

This lounge, hidden in the bowels of the old train station, originally served as an electrical control room to power the Gare d'Orsay at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, it is considered a unique vestige of this industrial era, but its intriguing atmosphere and austere appearance have earned it an almost mythical reputation.

A riddle for visitors

Few documents exist on the Salon Noir , and few are those who have had the chance to visit it. Some say that it would house forgotten mechanisms, industrial relics or even unexhibited works of art, shrouded in mystery. This dark and secret place is a perfect example of the duality of the Musée d'Orsay, a space where industrial history rubs shoulders with the greatest works of art.
