Petit Palais, Paris, April 27, 2008 It was sunny and hot, and as I was on the Champs-Elysees with my camera, I was reminded that I had never gone back to this museum. ... okay,now it reminds me of the Met. Where I definitely want to go and spend more than 5 min, some day. |

Art = excuse for nudity? |
 |
I like everything about this building <3 |
 |
Even those odd patched up statues Notice the boat under her? It's reminiscent of Paris' symbol and motto. |
 |
Opening gate |
 |
Detail : Fluctuat nec mergitur again I don't think any other monument is so insistent about Paris' motto. It was probably funded by the town and not by the governement? |
 |
Art Nouveau a bit The motto means "Floats but never sinks". |
 |
Lady with monkey If I recall, it's when I wanted to take a photo of her last time that my batteries died ^^;,, |
 |
So I indulged a bit Because I really like the technique of it. It's ceramics, can you believe it? |
 |
And she's pretty, too. |
 |
A different technique but I really like those multi-color statues. |
 |
That foot looks real... It's nearly skin-toned o_o |
 |
Shot from above Err... painful? |
 |
Adam, Eve and Abel First death on Earth |
 |
Glowy |
 |
Good Samaritan Surprising realism |
 |
The boat again... surrounded by victories |
 |
The inner garden I last shot it in winter covered in snow... |
 |
The terrace leads to the café |
 |
It has to be one of the most pleasant places of Paris |
 |
Eve with the snake |
 |
Haunting |
 |
I love that place |
 |
I'm not sure what those are... Are they even finished? |

I liked your previous post with the pics too. The thing is that whenever I see art like this, I want very badly to possess it. It's so beautiful.
And best thing of all : entrance to that specific museum (and the garden) is free at all time.
