La Petite Palais

Today we went to La Petit Palais - one of my favorite museums in Paris. It was built for the Universal Exhibition in 1900 by architect Charles Girault, and houses the Musée des Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris. If you are into Art Nouveau and Impressionism, then you gotz ta check it out. The building is also breathtaking...so, just go, whydon'tcha?

There happened to be a special exhibit of etchings from Rembrandt while we were there, and I was amazed at how many prints and etchings he did in his lifetime. In particular, I was impressed with the sense of humor in his work - one village scene showcases a dog poopin' in the foreground. Oh, Rembrandt...you crazy.
