JULY 21: Musée d’Orsay

As a lover of art museums I had a wonderful day today getting to go to the Musée d’Orsay (Orsay Museum). A large majority of its pieces come from the Louvre. It is filled with art all from the Impressionism age. Its location is right next to the Seine and the building itself use to be an old train station.

Some of the piece of art shown there include Vincent Van Gogh's portrait,

a statue of a child Mozart,

and some ballerina/dancers art by Edgar Degas.

While the place had been remodeled in 2011 it still holds some of its original piece such as the giant clock overhanging the entrance inside. You can get a really nice view of it on the next level up.
