Had some culture injected into me today
I am not generally the one drawn to art and the finer aspects of life. Whatever little I know has seeped in through sheer osmosis from living with an artist wife.
So, when I was left unsupervised to wander through the Musée d’Orsay after normal hours, I was not entirely sure what one was supposed to do. I recognized a few names. Beyond that, my main qualification was an ability to nod thoughtfully while looking at things.
Unfortunately, Sharmila was not with me. She would have truly appreciated it. Although, she has been here several times before.
As for me, I mostly earned the bragging rights of saying I have seen an impressive number of famous paintings and sculptures up close. Last year, I was similarly left unsupervised in the Louvre Museum. The previous year was Notre Dame.
I suppose this is a culture of a sort, too!
