Petit Palais


The Petit Palais is a wonderful building turned museum with art from a couple of different movements.
I absolutely love the ceilings
The first part of the "tour" is pottery, which i find fascinating... especially these two vases.

My main purpose of visiting the museum was to see the temporary exhibit by the Boulats, a father-daughter pair of french photojournalists. I took limited pictures of this expo because i just wanted to soak it all in...
Awesome stair case!!
This was part of the Paris history section... which just included different paintings of paris (mostly during the 1889 world expo) but i thought this elephant was cute
Awesome painting by Monet (i think). I have definitively decided that my favorite time period is impressionism, it's just so relaxing and wonderful and for the most part very bright!

wonderful little garden in the center of the building.

Picture of the interior of famous painting and sculpture with all most matching poses.
