Someday, I will go to Paris and bliss out on all the museums there. For now, I have to do with the occasional exhibits from the National Museum of Singapore. This time, Paris’ Musee d’Orsay loaned some paintings, and I only found out about it early January. I dragged JP to the museum to check it out.

Here are my favorites from the exhibit.

And the star of the exhibit: Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”.

This is just one version of his famous work. There is another one in MOMA in New York which I was fortunate to have seen a few years ago.

A bit of wishful thinking, but I hope they get to borrow the Mona Lisa from the Louvre someday. Or maybe I’ll just have to plan a trip to Paris soon.
