RODIN AND d'ORSAY MUSEUMS





Today was a relaxing day.   I toured the Rodin and d'Orsay Museums and wandered around the St. Germain area.   Rodin was a small museum but very interesting.   I have discovered that artists were subjects of sculptors and visa versa.  The d'Orsay was a beautiful museum, but no pictures were allowed.  I enjoyed the sculptures, especially 3 in a series of the busts of Africans using 3-4 different colored stone.  They were magnificent............and I wanted to sneak a picture, but resisted the temptation.  There was a display of art nouveau furniture that I also enjoyed.
