Of all the art museums I've been to in my life, I must say the Musee D'Orsay is my absolute favourite. Its home is the old Gare D'Orsay train station and is full of French art of the 1800s. It houses the best collection of Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, van Gogh, Cezanne, and Gauguin. If you like Impressionism, go to this museum. If you don't like Impressionism, go to this museum.
I'd take the Orsay over the Louvre any day.
moi aussi. I am planning to work there when Dan and I live in Paris. Actually I would be happy to just volunteer there. I am jsut runnign out to buy my 6/49 ticket to help get that little fantasy off the ground!
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to go - right after window licking! Seriously - it sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI was sick the day my dad and sister went to the Musee D'Orsay. It is honestly one of my greatest regrets that I didn't go and it is my goal to see it in the future someday!
