Orsay Museum

Sah cool bridge, you could go from the bottom on the bridge. Usually you would have to take the stairs what are a bit away and then you could on the bridge

First we waited in the line to find out that it is free for EU members, it´z nize :D Gabi could not enter because of that reason and he was so offended that he went to the airport and went back to Turkey. 

Hah lol you can not use a selfie-stick in there - nice. Second picture - I can´t point?

Entrance to the museum

Look back to the entrance, on top there was an awesome clock

Noiss painting. Paul Signac. Les Andelys. All the museum did not have english descriptions, that sucked.. In some museums you could take a brochure about the rooms exhibitions and then put it back. Or rent the remote what tells you what the paintings are about

Paul Cezanne, self portrait. Looks just like Arvo Pärt, Estonian composer

Vincent Van Gogh, self portrait

That was one model of a theather, shows the inside - sah cool!

Just massive

Another clock where everybody wanted a picture. Waited sooo long until all the couples kiss infront of it (sorry I just threw up in my mouth) and someone taking a picture of them. But everyone just kept coming and I was like fuck, I will just take one random picture. Dzii people, it´s just a clock

Weird

From the other part of the museum and from the top

Next stop: Serbia, Belgrad

Pompidou museum

As the title says, we went to Centre Georges Pompidou aka Pompidou Centre. It houses libraries; national museum of moden art of France and IRCAM - a centre for music and acoustic research. It is among the most visited art museums in the world and one of the largest for modern and contemporary art. It is named after Georges Pompidou, the President of France from 1969-1974 who commissionad the building. Officially opened on 31 Jan 1977

Pompidou was out meeting point. We were just walking around and we all the time ended up in Pompidou. We visited basically every day Pompidou, from outside at least. From the left to the right: Khati, Juraj and Fiona

And one time we even went inside. Didn´t have to pay, didn´t quite understand the reason. Was it EU or just free for everyone after 14:00 or what? Gabi got in free also and he is not from EU so it must have been the free after 14:00. Some exhibitions needed ticket but we just went to free exhibitions

Kind of creepy :D

Dmitri Prigov. Twenty century ABC 1985. I liked it because that letter in the middle "Ja" means in Russian "I" as me. So I like it because I am in the middle (not in a narcissistic way)

Then we went to the top by those tubes, there was escalator inside (building had like 5 floors) 

From the top

Weird thing was about the roofs, they build an extra wall for chimneys as we assumed

From the left - you can see the church

From the right - you can see Sacre Noir

On the ground floor there was a library/book shop what was interesting :)

Juraj is so cute in here :)

That was weird book. I was happy to see someone writing about Finland. Opened the book and whooa wasn´t expecting that. Google if you dare

From the inside

Juraj and Fiona :))

In another time we took Marketa there also because she wasn´t with us when we visited Pompidou

Also, close to Pompidou was a clothes shop and we discovered that there is a photobooth what was free!! We made lots of pictures ofc in there :D

Louvre

Went to Louvre. That name is soo hard to pronounce ('luvr" as I understood at the final end). Not this but the next picture is taken on the right, vertical part. Museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century for the kings of France. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre as a place to display to royal collection. It became a museum 2 centuries ago

Across the river, close to Louvre was the French Institute

The Louvre / Louvre Museum. World largest museum. Visitors per year: over 9 miljon, almost 10 mln what makes is the second largest visited museum in the world after the Palace Museum in China. In 1970 the centuries-old Louvre Palace struggeled to cope with the rising number of visitors. Each wing had a different entrance, they were too small and the layout was so confusing that visitors struggeled to find entrance and OUTrance. Pyramids was completed in 1989 to expand and modernise the museum, as the main entrance to the museum

Museum opened in 1793 with an exhibition of 537 paintings. They gathered more paintings thanks to Napoleon and museum was renamed Musee Napoleon but soon after they named it back. 

Height - about 22 m and its base measures just over 35 meters. 673 diamond-shaped and 118 triangular panels were specifically fabricated to make them completely clear. 128 steel girders and 16 steel cables that hold the panes together. Technology from high tech yachts was used to make them as small and undetectable as possible. Some people said pyramid has 666 glasses and it is devils work etc, but its false because it does not have 666 panes

That was the line before we entered Louvre. We went there quite early because we didn´t want to be the last ones in that line like they are

We arrived to the Louvre at 9:15 and went to the line. It was supposed to open at 10, but it was opened later.. We got in at 10:35. But the waiting wasn´t so bad because the sun was shining and we played one really fun game :)

Went in from the biggest pyramid, they checked our bag and then went down by an elevator and this is the view. We did not have to buy ticket because for EU members it is free. Three of us are EU members (Estonian, Slovak and Czech). Fiona (Macedonian) got in free also because we did one thing :D Gabi (Turkey) was the only one who had to pay

The same place what I told before, the vertical part

Fancy ass glasses

Corridor to Mona Lisa

Mona Lisa - most visited work of art in Louvre. Believed it is painted between 1503 and 1506

Dzii how many people were there

Luv that pic

Eeeeeeeyy

Joseph Ducreux (1735-1802) self-portrait

Haleluujah. We were so tired so we just layed down on a couch. I had a skirt but didn´t care :D Mostly I was hanging out with them. At the beggining we were together, then I left them behind and somehow I met them again and then we were together til the very end! 

"I haven´t slept like 10 hours" 

"I don´t like the things that prove I´m stupid" - talking about the rubix cube :DD

"Wooden stone"

You can leave your stuff in those storage boxes for free and also there is special place for holding umbrellas, like what? You put your own code and then unlock it with your code

The inverted pyramid. Creators made the pyramid, turned it upside down and put it right above a small stone pyramid

It was sah warm! 

This is next to Louvre, Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. It was built between 1806-1808 to commemorate Napoleon´s military victories of the previuos year. Behind that is the London eye of Paris :D

Even the metro was designed similar to Louvre
