Musée de l'Orangerie, 15th of February

Hubby and the eldest went to Paris to have a look inside the l'Orangerie.

These are sculptures out side the Museum d'Orsay.







The eldest took this one...

Just going to see the giant Monet's is so worth it. They are amazing! They were made special for these walls...












The rest of the collection is impressive too... How many of these do you know???

Picasso Museum Paris, 4th of February



Last Saturday I visited the Picasso museum in Paris. I took a few photos and enjoyed seeing the "Picasso and Giacometti" exhibition (which now has closed). I haven't been since the renovations... I think they have added at least 3 more levels...right into the roof and a huge basement area. There is even a new roof top cafe.


Works by both artists complement each other...





It was a bit cold to hang outside...


I feel in love with the light fittings...

Battle

Sometimes it's a battle just walking in a bedroom.

Other times there is a battle going on, in toy mode. The eldest was very proud of his story. I think there were over 230 little people fighting....

Musée des Arts Forains, 27th of December

My eldest and I went to the museum. It was open specially for a festival, which runs to the 2nd of January. Normally you have to book, but it's open from 10am-6pm. The link is below.

It was amazing.




Music and giant puppets.





Old carousel figures and horses were so beautiful.




It was packed.

Fairy floss was extra yummy.




This was my favorite, a bike carousel from 1897.
