Musee d'Orsay

Sunday is half price museum day so we headed off to the Musee d'Orsay. This covers art from 1848 to 1914 so it includes some of my favourite artists (the Impressionists and Art Nouveau). The art didn't dissapoint - many well known pictures were there. Also several rooms showed private collections that had been donated and kept as a set. These were a highlight as they showed lesser known works and artists that you don't always see when an exhibition comes to Australia.

Another benefit of spending 4 hours in the museum was the air conditioning - it was another very hot day.
