Musée Louvre and Musée D’Orsay

If you’re someone who has passion in art and takes millions of hours to just to look at one painting, don’t bother going on group trips! I spent ONLY ONE hour in the Musée Louvre and the Musée D’Orsay! I am SO PISSED that I didn’t have enough time to look at everything that I wanted to see and even to take TIME to look at and to study the paintings! Both museums are MASSIVE – from what I heard, it takes about three years to really see the entire Musée Louvre exhibits. I saw the Mona Lisa painting by the exceptional artist Leonardo daVinci. I do NOT understand why this painting is exceptionally special! This painting is BEYOND over protected than you can imagine. It’s placed inside a glass box and there are three security guards standing in front of the painting. I find that many other paintings such as the ones by Renoir and Monet are beyond more magnificent than the damn one little painting of Mona Lisa. In any case, Leonardo daVinci was still an amazing person – he was an architecter, painter, inventor, and many other professionals that we can name. The only other exhibit that I saw at the Louvre was the ancient greek art. They were quite interesting and beautiful. I thought Musée d’Orsay is more fabulous than the Musée Louvre. The painting by Claude Monet were just absolutely stunning. The colors just blow me away. They also make me feel like I am in the countryside. Renoir was absolutely exceptional. He had the talent for painting people in action. I love how he painted people chatting and just doing many things. It looked like a film to me. Because I spent only ONE hour like I said, I am hoping that I will go back there with my dad who is arriving in Paris tomorrow for a few days or with Christophe, the next family that I’m staying with.
