Marie Goes To Musee d'Orsay

Bonjour! Our last day in Paris for now.

The morning was spent at the Musee d'Orsay. I love this museum...more than the Louvre. The lighting is natural and as long as you don't use a flash you can take pictures to your hearts content.

This Van Gogh is actually a very muted blue.

It might be faded a little. I got up close for some detail shots and brightened him up a little.

Olympia was as popular as ever. This whole family had their portraits taken with the painting. Must remember to do this next time. Must remember to take a friend with me for portrait.

I took so many photos that I am only showing you a few highlights.

This is a Renoir I have never seen before. I stared at it for a long time.

Isn't he beautiful? I hope this child had a good life.

One of the featured exhibitions was this salute to art nouveau.

Sadly, the audio was only in French. I love to walk around with a headset! You have an expert in your head.

They showed original art nouveau and the 1960's revival of the art form.

Isn't this a cool breakfast nook?

The new restaurant is open. It is a huge open space and I only photographed one end of it.

I didn't have time for the restaurant so I had this fast lunch in the cafe. Salad Parisian and a cafe creme.
