For me, my favourite museums have to be the Frick Collection on 5th Avenue in NY - small and intimate. Closer to home here in London, it is the Wallace Collection which is exquisite. I hope you are having a lovely weekend.<br /><br />SophiaSophia https://www.blogger.com/profile/12707952981118455400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-60716045006849583672013-01-25T09:38:16.675-05:002013-01-25T09:38:16.675-05:00Isn't it fun being an armchair traveler?!

That's what I love about writing my blog - I get to do it every day! <br /><br />Google Art Project is VERY cool....so much fun to see museums where you haven't been (I haven't seen the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam but was able to see it virtually). <br /><br />My favorite museums are the Musee D'Orsay in Paris (everyone's favorite, I know, but it's just SO perfect)...also the Musee Marmottan in Paris and the Frick in NYC. My favorite artist is Jean Francois Millet - his paintings have brought me to tears!<br /><br />Stay warm this weekend...xoxoxoSandy at You May Be Wanderinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108555245405638530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-57875888839559122292013-01-25T09:13:44.147-05:002013-01-25T09:13:44.147-05:00Museums are a wonderul way to spend a cold day.

Of course you know I love textiles and get lost in them so any museum that has them that's where you'll find me. <br /><br />Enjoy your weekend!<br />XXX<br />Debra~Acquired Objectshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065566296202199461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-25103524449173393452013-01-25T08:15:23.863-05:002013-01-25T08:15:23.863-05:00I didn't know about this - this is fantastic!

I agree about Museums, I could walk around all day and never get tired of being there...it is fascinating and wondrous to think about the history of each piece...so much to learn about our past. I think the Frick here in NY, the Barnes Foundation in Philly and in Paris I think it was called Musee Rudin? Small and fabulous...and of course there are many I haven't been to that I hope I will get the opportunity to!

We totally concur with you that, so often, it is the relatively small, unknown museums and art galleries which remain firmly locked in the mind.<br /><br />We recall with great affection the intimacy of the Courtauld collection in London, which was just like being in a private apartment, before it was all moved to the rather impersonal Somerset House.<br /><br />Kellemes hétvégét.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
