MUSEE D'ORSAY. This museum is primarily of Impressionistic art but includes some pre and post period works. I went late morning while my hosts were singing at the second Easter service. The line was about 25 minutes long. Photographing was permitted, which certainly changed the viewing experience. I found myself in there with the rest of them, spending too much time trying to get a photo rather than just enjoying the artwork itself. On the left are statues outside the building. On the right is the interior of the main gallery.I used Rick Steve's guide, which I found very helpful since there was no brochure/guide available in English to describe the works on display.

Picture on the left is Renoir's Arab mosque. The picture of "The Gleaners" (Millet-1857) reminded me of the wheat harvesting around my village; it's still done the same way as it was 150 year ago! Because of the short time I was in Paris, I didn't even attempt to tour the Louvre as it is so huge. I would like to go back to this museum again as well.
