SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2008

Here to get in it is the first Sunday of the month and free museum entrances again. We went off to the D'Orsay Museum and got there about 1:30 and it took us about 25 minutes waiting on line to get in. When we left at 4:00, the lines were even longer.

We went to see the special exhibition entitled "Le Mystère et l'Éclat, pastels du Musée d'Orsay". You would be surprised at the number of impressionists who worked with pastels as well as oils.

Below are a few. Do you recognize which one is a Degas?

We separated and Alexandria went to see the exhibition of masks. Erwin went to see some photo essays by a contemporary photographic artist named Valérie Belin. For the moment, there are no photos of the masks, but maybe?

Erwin also looked at some of the sculptures in the main hall.
