18-19 March 2018
Today Tim has a bad head cold virus thing going on, so Gerri will go out and about by herself  =:-O

The Musée Picasso is an art gallery located in the Hôtel Salé in rue de Thorigny, in the Marais district of Paris, France, dedicated to the work of the Spanish artist Pablo Picasso (1881–1973).

Where does used beer go?

​"The sewers of Paris date back to the year 1370 when the first underground system was constructed under Rue Montmartre. Consecutive French governments enlarged the system to cover the city's population, including expansions under Louis XIV and Napoleon III, and modernization programs in the 1990s under Mayor Jacques Chirac. The system has featured in popular culture through its existence, including  Victor Hugo's 1862 novel, Les Misérables, and H. L. Humes' 1958 novel The Underground City."

Our museum pass included the Paris Sewer Museum.

"The Musée de l'Orangerie is an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings located in the west corner of the Tuileries Gardens next to the Place de la Concorde in Paris. The museum is most famous as the permanent home of eight large Water Lilies murals by Claude Monet, and also contains works by Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri Rousseau, Alfred Sisley, Chaim Soutine, and Maurice Utrillo."

​More falafel the next day.  And then:

"The Musée National d'Art Moderne (National Museum of Modern Art) is the national museum for modern art of France. It is among the most visited art museums in the world and one of the largest for modern and contemporary art."
