Today we got our museum passes, so we have access for 4 straight days to all the museums that the passes include. First we were at the Orangerie, which is a old timey modern museum, for impressionists, not like realists. Then we went to lunch at a cafe and had sandwiches and fries. We then walked to the Musee d'Orsay, which is mainly sculptures, which were absolutely gorgeous! There were some huge paintings; they were so huge that the people in them were like 6 ft tall, and most of them were with, like, 30 people in them! We got a wonderful dessert: A layered thingy- the top was chocolate, then custardy stuff, then cake, then more custardy stuff, and the last layer was almost like the stuff you put on the bottom of cheesecake... so good!
Ciao!
cool - there are some really awesome museums in paris. the van gogh print you guys have is from the d'orsay when i went in high school. unfortunately, i think many of the picasso museum pieces are in Seattle right now (well, fortunate for us) as part of a travelling exhibit while they remodel the place in paris.
ReplyDeletehere's a link to some museums that are a little 'wackier': http://www.travelsignposts.com/Paris/paris_museumsunusual.php (like the museum of magic, which sounds pretty cool)
