Blog#8: A Trip to Paris part2

  Previously, I introduce 2 places to you, Monet’s house and The Petit Trianon. This time, I talk to you about 1 place that is the main of this trip for me. This is essential to study the western art of history.

   The most impressive place of this trip is the Louvre Museum. It was the other one of my dreams to visit there for a long time. I wanted to look “Venus de Milo”,” Mona Lisa” and other wonderful works. And I wanted to look the most in the Louvre Museum is “Winged Victory of Samothrace”. When I was a high school student, the teacher whom I respected for show me some pictures of” Winged Victory of Samothrace”. (We usually call this “Nike”.) It was so beautiful, so wonderful, that I was impressed.
   In Louvre, I was very excited. I looked “Nike” about 5 times and took photos a lot. Of course another works are very beautiful and I was impressed. All a day, I was in that museum (I think my family was bored to death with me.)
  


   In Paris, I visited some other places, Musée d'Orsay, Musée de l'Orangerie and so on (the picture is Musée d'Orsay). But next time, I want to visit more and more places than this time.

    I also like "Winged Victory of Samothrace"! I have never seen the real, but I can imagine how it was beautiful through your comment and photo.
    Isn't your family interested in art like you? But time flies for art lovers in Louvre. It is difficult that all members are satisfied with trip plans.

  3. This is Ms. MacGregor. I didn't know musee d'Orsay was so beautiful. The architecture is brilliant. Was it sunny and bright when you went there? It reminds me of a big train station I might see in a movie set in the 1920s or 1930s. Very exquisite.
