Paris-Day 3

The first museum we visited today was the Musee D'Orsay. This museum exhibits works from the years 1848-1914. Some famous works we saw on display were by Delacroix, Manet, Monet, Cezanne, van Gogh, Renoir, Whistler and Matisee. It was awesome to see all these works in person and not just in books!!



Venus de Milo
Entrance to the Louvre


We saved the best museum for last, the Louvre. This is the big one; once the largest palace in the world and now the largest art museum. Home of the Mona Lisa and the poor, armless Venus de Milo. It is the home to some 400,000 works of art.
