Musée d'Orsay
The M’O or Musée d'Orsay is a must visit when in Paris for any and all art lovers. ESPECIALLY those who love Impressionist and French Painters. The Museum, which used to be a train station but is now one of the largest art museums in Europe, has beautiful and incredible art pieces by Monet, Cézanne, Gauguin, Degas, Renoir, Delacroix, Seurat, Manet, and Van Gogh! It is a dream spot for art lovers…
There are three main levels with the lower level being the oldest artworks and the top being the newest. The works range from 1848 to 1914.
But there’s so much more than just Impressionists. Unfortunately we were short on time as the museum was closing when we arrived so I wasn’t able to see it all but thankfully, it ain’t going anywhere… Hopefully.

van Gogh: The Church at Auvers

Manet: The Luncheon on the Grass

I say hopefully it ain’t going anywhere because the train station, the Gare d’Orsay was built on top of the ruins of the Palais d’Orsay which the dirty commies of the 1871 Paris Commune burnt down. They really destroyed so much of the city… and inspired truly horrific future humans like Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin. The inside of the museum is truly beautiful and has a vaulted glass roof with a statue lined promenade.
The Museum is across the Seine from the Louvre, its Gardens, and the Petit Palais.

Nearby: The Louvre. Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris. The Hotel des Invalides with Napoléon’s Tomb and the huge Musée de l’Armée (French Army Museum).
On the Seine in front of M’O is the very important statue of one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived, Thomas Jefferson. You must not miss it.
