Linda Mathieu's experiences living as an American expat in France
Orsay Museum (Exterior)
We did another walk with our friend on yet another beautiful morning. This time we met at the Orsay Museum just for a change of scene. I sure hope it opens soon. It’s really a great museum.
I saw this gorgeous building as I near the Orsay.There are a series of iron sculptures of wild animals such as this rhino in the front of the museum.And this row of figures that were once on another building each representing different areas in the world.I wonder if we will be able to see this exhibition when it opens?The Orsay was once a train station that wasn’t large enough when the trains got longer and there are two clocks on it. Inside you can look out and see Paris views. They almost tore the building down but, luckily, someone got the idea eventually to make it a museum.

Tissot is one of my favorite artists. I love his attention to detail….
I love the close-ups of the buildings, with all of the details in their glory. The Musée d’Orsay is one of my favorite museums, as much for the architecture as for the art.
