Backpacker Story 2 ~Louvre and Orsay Museum~

As I decided to stay in Paris for a week, I used every time I had to go to museums in Paris. The main destinations were the museum of Louvre, Orsay, and the Notre Dame.

There in the museum of Louvre,  the main purpose was to see the huge amount of works from all over the world, and to see the famous Mona Lisa.

To be honest with you, I wasn't really moved by the Mona Lisa. It was

inside the protective glass and was a cloud in front.

What inspired me was the small works of Vermeer that was exhibited very close to the audience. 

Also the old and  rough paintings of human body on the ceiling was surprising for me.

On the other hand,I felt the museum of Orsay was much more friendly to see around. There were a lot of light color painting that used to continued to the impressionists.

It was surprising that a young student was painting a copy of original works. It made me remember of the first works of Matis that was also a reproduction made in museums.

There was a special room for Gogh full of people as his life attract the people all over the world.

I've been to the gallery street too. There was a original painting of Raul Dufy for 500 hundred thousand dollars. In contemporary art area, the Alberto Giacometti was inspiring. 

Than I've been to the Montmartre hill, be loved place of many artists.
