| Paris Day Five Wednesday Two |
| After breakfast, we started our final museum tour. First, we headed over to the Musee Rodin. The walk over was nice since we got to see several government buildings and a new shopping district. Once we viewed his sculptures, we ventured over to Musee D'Orsay. The Orsay holds most of the middle period pieces with the Lourve being the older works and Pompidou holding the newer works. |
| Rodin's most famous work is The Thinker. It sits in the front garden of the museum with a great view of Invalides. |
| The back garden was amazing. From the top floor you had a great view of Invalides. I sure look like I'm enjoying the view. |
| Orsay is full of pantings and sculptures. One of the most famous works is Whistler's Mother. |
| One of Shlater's favorites is the Torso de Homme. |
| The museum is a converted home. Within the two stories are many of Rodin's sculptures. One of his most celebrated works is The Kiss. |
| After our walk to Orsay, I got my picture of the museum's clock. The clock dominates the entire wall of the former train staion turned museum. |
| The whole second floor of the museum is sculptures. One of my favorites is The Archer. |
| We blitzed through the Orsay. The Orsay was a train station in the past. Here I am relaxing on the Seine with the Musee D'Orsay in the back. |
| We already had a full day, but there was one last sight we needed to see that night. The Orsay is right across the street from the Lourve. In the last picture on this page, I'm facing the Lourve. We took the opportunity to walk through the Lourve's gardens again before we caught a Metro train to the Arc de Triomphe for out night visit there. |
