Musée d'Orsay


Our first stop of the day was the Musée D'Orsay, which is home to the best collection of French impressionist painting in the world. The museum is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay train station. The building itself is worthy of a museum even without the art inside. Many works by Monet, Manet, Renoir, Cézanne, Seurat and many many others were represented here. There were also fantastic sculptures by Rodin and others as well. This is the most impressive single collection of art I have ever seen. I think it is a better museum than even the Louvre.
