A Day at the Museum D'Orsay -- Traveling Through Paintings #8
Welcome on a tour through one of the most amazing art exhibitions in Paris!
Actually, there are almost too many museums to count there; and if you are fortunate to visit Paris one day you should plan plenty of time for discovering the world of art!
The museum I am inviting you to today is Museé d'Orsay 😊
Museé d'Orsay resides in a very large hall which was originally a train station. Now it is rebuilt into a museum and houses one of the most famous paintings from Van Gogh to Monet and Renoir (just to name a few), but houses also statues and several intriguing art collections.
Come walk with me as we travel through the many paintings 👩🌾
I sat there a little longer before I explored more of the city. I walked through the many alleys and passed many small and big houses. They had surely lived through many years and had been a home to many generations. The history had been etched into their wooden frames and if you looked long enough and close enough you could read them like a book.
I felt my environment shift again and I could see and sense that everything subtly changed - I had entered another painting and the dreaminess of it all was quite apparent. Swirls streamed forth and the buildings and people, all things, became outlined, their contrast enhanced.
Before me stood a great cathedral soaked in the deepest of blues. All of it seemed rather peculiar and I truly could not distinguish this from similar dreams I had had in the past. If I looked long enough I could even see the matter move and flow! So I began to flow as well. I flowed to the cathedral and flowed over the grass, I flowed to the sky and flowed over the city.
Spirals and swirls made up the world and I felt free up here looking down. The cathedral now small became larger as I flowed towards it again. Its red roof top like an island in an ocean of green. My feet touched the earth and I smiled having seen this world from up there. Content and fulfilled I stepped into its halls.
