Musee d'Orsay

No, that's not the picture of the hotelroom we stayed at in Paris. Hopefully you recognized this painting. It's Van Gogh's bedroom in Arles. This was at the Orsay museum along with many other fine art paintings. My favorites were the works of Van Gogh, Monet and Pisarro. This museum is filled with their work. It was so much fun to see so many of their work in one place. Surprisingly, they don't mind the visitors taking pictures, as long as flash is not used. I ended up taking enough pictures to make my own screensaver. I actually enjoyed my visit to Musee d'Orsay more than my visit to Louvre.
I had to have my picture taken in front of Monet's "Les dindons". I had never seen this one before.
This "Baby John the Baptist" sculpture was also calling for a picture. Posted by Picasa
