Ahh, another great art gallery, and it is a little bigger than the one that I visited in Arras. The…read moregallery is actually a mix between an archeological museum and a art gallery, and is divided into various rooms. One of the rooms is decated to paintings, another to sculptures, and another room dedicated to religious art, and in the basement you have the archeological museum which explores all of the stuff dug up in the area as well as the evolution of Amiens from Roman times. There is also an upstairs area, but that was still being retrofitted so there wasn't a huge amount of stuff here. Still, it was definitely a pretty awesome museum, and while the collection wasn't as large compared to some museums, there is still enough here to keep you engaged.

We arrived at Musée d'Orsay without a pre bought ticket…read more The line wasn't that long so we decided to stay. We were inching along, and then suddenly the line moved really fast, they were letting people enter faster. We spent over 10 minutes and we were in. This museum is smaller than the Louvre, and has many floors and seems harder to navigate, so I just let my son take the lead and I followed. We took our time admiring the paintings: Monet, Lautrec, Van Gogh, Degas....some people are going with the flow, but some took too much time posing with the paintings, maybe thinking it's their personal studio .... We really like this museum. The time we went, there is a special exhibit dedicated to Renoir.

The space itself pulls you in, and it's easy to spend hours here without realizing it. I got lost in the beauty of the paintings here many times. Although the Louvre Museum is #1 and the most iconic, Musée d'Orsay is absolutely worth seeing and holds its own. It's in my opinion the #2 must see museum in Paris. Le Restaurant du Musée d'Orsay inside is also worth a stop on it's own, beautiful setting with high quality desserts and coffee.

I thought I knew my history but this is a great addition The only downside, lots of school kids outside smoking and not just tobacco or vaping...!

The Arras Art Museum is actually located in a former monestary, and while it isn't as large as some…read moreof the places that I have visited, it still takes up a little over three floors of one of the wings (though parts of the gallery extend into other wings). Since Arras isn't that huge, the gallery contains a mixture of art from across the ages, though a lot of it does tend to be medieval and early modern with a smattering of paintings and objets d'art. Mind you, I'm not actually that particularly interested in decorative art, however there were quite a number of pretty awesome paintings, including some incredibly large ones at that. The tickets aren't all that pricey either, so if for some reason you find yourself in Arras then it is certainly worth checking out.

I discovered it when I received some discount tickets from the Carrarie Wellington and was a little disappointed that we were going to miss out on it. It turned out that I was going to be quite lucky because the tour we went on took us down there. The museum, like a lot of similar museums in the region, consists of lots of stuff that had been picked up and dug up over the years and has been sorted into a a semblance of order. The other interesting thing was that the church it is under was hit by a shell in the early days of the war, by the steeple didn't collapse - it just hung there. There was then a theory that when the steeple collapsed thenn the war would come to an end. Also, the troups would pass under it on the way to the front, and did so as a form of blessing.
