What museum did you go to? I must not have been paying attention a few days ago...I can't remember!

I love looking at paintings...looking at pictures of them isn't quite the same. I was fortunate enough to have a chance to go to several of the big art museums in Paris when I was there a few years back. THAT was incredible! I didn't have as much time as I would have liked, though. It's nice to be able to just stand in front of a painting and take it in, notice all the details and colors and light, really get to know it.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. Yeah, looking at a reproduction is not the same as walking right up to the actual painting.

The Met has tons of stuff, but I think Paris has even more.
