On Sunday I went to the Musee Jacquemart to see an exhibit of flemish painting: Bruegel, Van Eick, Memling, etc... I then realized that the paintings all came from the Brukenthal collection which happens to be hosted in the Brukenthal museum in Sibiu, 100 kms from Cluj! I had to come to Paris to see paintings that are 2 hrs from here! Anyway, I have to check when the collection comes back to Sibiu, because that museum in Paris was very crowded. Here are two fabulous paintings I saw there:
Bruegel: the massacre of innocents.
Van Eick: the man wih a blue turban..
I was also strolling Montmartre area (near Sacre Coeur) and took a few pictures. Enjoy!
One of the few old subway entrances left. Here, place des Abbesses.
You know I like doors...
Le Bateau Lavoir in Montmartre was Picasso studio while in Paris.
Le Moulin de la Galette in Montmartre. Actually one of the 3 left. Renoir did a famous painting in the area called Bal du Moulin de la Galette.
Place du Tertre. More japanese here than in Tokyo.
La basilique du Sacre Coeur.
Ciao Cluj!
