Musee D'Orsay

On our last day in Paris we visited the Musee d'Orsay.  Housed in the old d'Orsay train station which was renovated to hold the gallery, it is magnificent.

The museum holds the largest number of publicly held impressionist paintings in France, including at least a dozen Monets.  There are also Manet, Gaugin, Van Gogh, Seurat, Picasso and many many others.  As well as statues by Rodin. It was absolutely awesome, these are among my favourite paintings and to see them in the flesh was just remarkable.

unfortunately the museum has a very strict no photos policy.  I was able to grab a few of the museum itself but absolutely no photos of the art.

The museum is directly across the river from the Louvre and the views from the large windows and through the clock face window are amazing.

I have to say this is my favourite museum in Paris.
