Outside the Museum This statue was just down the street from the museum.
	Bronze Statue This was one of the first works of art that greeted us: a bronze statue of a mandolin player.
	Bronze Statue Closeup
	Main Floor This gives you an idea of how large the museum was. I was on the third landing when I took this shot.
	Magnificent Clock I didn't take any color shots inside the museum, just B&W with no flash. Just wanted to point out that the clock is gilded gold!
	d'Orsay Hallway In between each two pillars were the Impressionists' artwork on display.
	d'Orsay View #2
	Lady in the Spotlight
	Dance This masterpiece was created by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux 1865-1869 as commissioned to capture "...women encircling the spirit of dance".
	Magnificent Clock #2
	Back of the Clock Just in case you wanted to know how the thing runs! It appeared very complex.
	Gates of Hell This is a small portion of the 'model' for Rodin's famous Gates of Hell sculpture.
	d'Orsay in Cinemascope When I saw this view coming down the stairs, and in between the two levels, it reminded me of an old Cinemascope movie!
	d'Orsay Ornamentation On display were various samples of the museum's ornamentation.
	Le Musée Rodin - Rodin Chandelier I was in heaven with the architecture,and in this case, the light from the chandelier just happened to catch my eye.
	Camille Claudel's The Wave I told my sisters this was the three of us!
	Hands
	Young Girl in Floral Hat Circa 1865, terra cotta
	Young Girl
	The Monument to the Burghers of Calais Created in 1889 to honor the heroism of six citizens of Calais who, after a long seige of the city, handed over the keys to King Edward III in 1347.
	Rodin Gardens It is said that Auguste Rodin loved his gardens. In the background you can see the gilded dome over Napoleon's tomb at Les Invalides.
	Three Sisters Here we are again!!
	Auguste Rodin's Le Sommeil Sculpted in 1829, it looks great in B&W. Actually, it looks like this in real life!
	Rodin Stairway Geometric design with a touch of French Quarter - that's how I see it.
	Man Servant I believe this was either Rodin's or a friend's man servant who he used for a model.
	Frightening Model Any way I looked at this one, it scared me at every angle.
	Rodin's The Thinker Here's one of the model of the famous "Thinker".
