Paris, Day 3: Musée d'Orsay

The distinctive clock

We rode Batobus again from Eiffel Tower stop to Musée d'Orsay. We got 2-day Batobus passes, meaning we could hop on and hop off for two days for a flat fee. I found that helpful. It's much better to ride Batobus than Paris Metro because Batobus route is more scenic. You see beautiful Paris from the boat, and you will never get tired of it. Riding Metro, you see nothing. After all, you come all the way here to see Paris not dark tunnels. 

The picture above is what it looks like inside the museum. If you are wondering who that mysterious human figure is, that's JJ. He is shy, therefore, his cover can not be blown. You can see the sign indicating no photos behind JJ. Photography is not allowed if you get past the sign. Among all the tourist destinations I visited in Paris, this is the only place that doesn't permit photography.

Musée d'Orsay holds impressionist and post-impressionist finest works. The collection of sculptures is also very impressive. The museum building was a train station converted into a museum. They had really high aesthetic standard for a train station back in the days, I must say.
