Orsay Museum

This wonderful museum in Paris, is famous for its impressionist art collection.
Not only the art collection itself, but also the building is a something to be seen, at least once in life time!
There are wonderful works of art of Courbet, Manet, Renoir, Monet, Degas, Cailebotte, Van Gogh, Gaugin... and many more.
If you are an impressionism fan and you have the chance to visit Paris, this museum is a Must do.
No pictures allowed inside the museum, so I wont be able to share photos of the paintings (follow the links to see some of them).... but I took a few pictures of the building... sshhh!

This was a family visit, even the kids had their audio guides. But each of us was impress with different things.... this is what most impress my little son (he took the photo):

At certain moment in life we all decide which angle to approach art, right? He has decided his angle at an early age!
