The last time we visited the Musee d'Orsay, I took all the non-flash photos I wanted, but this time when I pulled out my camera you would have though I pulled out a gun.

We went to this Museum with our 15 year old daughter, who we had to take out of school for this trip. She had an assignment from her art teacher to sketch in the museum. Even though it is a large museum, it was laid out in such a way that it was not overwhelming. I highly reccommend it. More

Love this former train station terminal. Perfect idea for housing the treasures of the impressionists - a railway station musee. Brill. And, as you move on up the levels to the arched roof, the exhibits just get better. Great planning - and dont forget the olde worlde station restauarnt when you ahve exhausted your gaze. More
