Paris 2011 - Rodin museum

Rodin Museum was one of my favorite spots in Paris! There were so much to see, and so many of Rodin's sculptures and art moved me. I loved it.




Here are some photos I took at the museum (both outdoors and indoors) and its garden areas.






















It was dark when we came out of the museum.

Rodin was seriously good.

Paris 2011 - Louvre

Of course we had to visit Louvre.

It was beautiful and massive! Its extensive collections were simply amazing. John and I made sure we saw what we wanted to see first, and then just casually browse through different areas. I think we could have spent a couple more days inside Louvre and we still wouldn't be able to see everything! Here are a few of the photos that I took:

























There are so many masterpieces to see from different artists and periods. Go visit Louvre everyone!

Paris 2011 - Musee d'Orsay

With our museum pass in hand, there were probably too many great things to see. The evening that Orsay Museum (Musee d'Orsay) opened late we took the night train to go and visit it.


The Musee d'Orsay stop was only a short train-ride away.



At the Musee d'Orsay station.



Musee d'Orsay.


Musee d'Orsay was the only museum that did not allow photograph-taking of the paintings and sculptures inside the museum, so I didn't take any. It was actually nice, because I was just trying to absorb what I was seeing, and loving each moment.

I did snap a few shots when I reached the top of the stairs at the back of the museum. I didn't know if it was allowed, but everyone with a camera was taking a photo of this stunning museum when he's on top of the "towers," so I did, too. (And it was all worth it!)




It was almost overwhelming for me to see the wondrous and inspiring work in the museum. An evening was almost too short for all d'Orsay had to offer, but I tried to take everything in, and to enjoy every little moment when I "felt" the paintings.



Afterward we walked around the museum and enjoyed the chilly breeze by the river.



That was a wonderful, wonderful evening.
