PRESERVING THE PAST: Waiters and customers are seen next to a clock window in a restaurant located inside the Orsay Museum in Paris on Friday. In 1977 the French Government decided to convert this Paris railway station and hotel, built in 1900 into a museum. The building was listed as a historical monument in 1978 and re-opened as the Orsay Museum in December 1986. — AFP
