Musee D'Orsay


I love their logo
 
Little did Van G know he'd be doing the signature piece for a museum
 
Interior of the old train station...lots of clocks
 
Clock view of Mont Martre
 
2nd floor aerial view of the large model of the old Paris Opera; an aviator has skillfully landed his paper airplane on the roof (how many other blogs will show you such keen-eyed observations?)
Another unusual view, looking out the fifth floor escalator on the entry side
 
Renoir's portait of Wagner

Not pictured: my favorite D'Orsay piece, Courbet's L'Origine du monde. I have pix of all the usual D'Orsay classics, if anyone wants to see them, but thought today's blog might feature the unusual. Courbet is a bit too unusual, and I'd probably have to have the blog status changed to "mature content" or somesuch.
