The Musee d'Orsay is one of my favourite museums ever, the top two floors have some of the paintings that first introduced me to art, and what it can be. I devoured a series of 'artist's by themselves' books from the local library when I was about 16, one after another till I had done all the impressionsists, then moving on to other schoola and periods. almost as much for the backstory, and bigraphical stories as for the art. So an afternoon in the museum after a morning up in Mont Martre was a slap in the face to realize again why I love art.
