You might remember from the last post that I mentioned our hotel was just yards away from a big art museum.
Well, it was full of famous works of art by famous artists…
But this isn’t a blog about them… it is a blog about me… and my art… and my life… and my adventures…
So you get to see a picture of me with my mom looking all happy after taking her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter to a museum.
For some reason, the big metal rhino in front of the museum was her favorite part.
On the top floor, I found the place behind the giant clock that you could look through, and stopped to take a picture… which my daughter took a picture of me doing.
I then went out on the balcony and took that picture of the Sacre Coeur in the distance… we will be seeing it closer later on…
While out on the balcony I also took that picture of the Seine and the Louvre in the background.
One cool thing in the Musée d’Orsay was this glass floor under which was a model of the streets of Paris. If you like glass floors, wait until you see the posts about the Eiffel Tower coming up.
I must admit that the museum was something of a work of art in and of itself.
That is just the central gallery. There are halls and rooms opening off both sides and you could spend a long time wandering in there.
And you would always know how long you had been wandering… because that clock is like 30 feet across.
In a way, the highlight of that museum was the restaurant inside where we had lunch.
The ceiling was quite remarkable.
And this just takes us up to lunch time on our first full day in Paris… so…
Pouring My Art Out 
So cool Art – wonderful pictures. the detail in the architecture is astounding isn’t it? Imagine the time it too to carver and paint that ceiling.
They used to take time to do that stuff.
Great shots!
thanks
welcome. 🙂
yup
Lovely shots, my fave is you taking a photo. I like the contrasts.
Thanks… all my favorite photos have me in them… HA!!!
It was the Gare d’Orsay, a train station built for the 1900 World’s Fair. That’s why it is so long and has that gorgeous clock. It is one of my favorite museums.
I remembered that, but I am relying on people to Google whatever interests them. I can only give so much information.
I figured you did, Art. You were there. I am just passing information on to whoever else is reading.
I do like it when people learn stuff here… even if it isn’t from me.
