We came. We saw. We kicked Mona’s arse. We had a 4 day museum pass and with a little modification it turned into a 5 day museum pass. We did so many museums it was a blur. Seeing literally 1000’s of pieces of art. After five days of museums it feels like a hang over of high art intoxication. I like that phrase high art intoxication or being drunk on art. Maybe I do have some writing skills. Naaaaa.

Below are pieces of art that I liked from the coolest museums in Paris. The Musee d’Orsay or Orsay Museum has mostly Impressionism works. Its soothing on the eye pallet and less hectic than the Louvre. A must see in my humble option.

Ok so I knew it was wrong. But Chris said it would be ok since I was injured yesterday. And I knew that is not an excuse, but we still used our 4 day museum pass for a 5^th day and went to the Orsay museum to see the Impressionists. Please don’t tell God or the French government I lied.

Orsay was a very pretty museum, not just because of the artwork that it held, but also because of the location. It used to be a train station. We saw Manets, Monets, Van Goghs, Rembrandts, etc. My favorite Monets were here like the waterlillies and the painting of that bridge at giverny. Also saw VanGogh and the room he painted at Arles, France. (I think that is where he went crazy and cut off his own ear). You gotta love that. It was fabulous. I wish we had more time here but basically we just ended up running around with the camera and taking pics and video. I am sure it looks silly on film, probably also looked silly in person.
