Masterpieces at Le Musee D’Orsay, Paris — Beadaholique
In previous blog posts we have found color inspiration in flowers, vintage labels, and the work of William Morris. Now we take a trip to Paris and gain inspiration from three lovely pieces of work on display at the Musee D’Orsay in Paris. This is a magnificent museum, housed in an old railway station dating to 1900. The location is spectacular in that it sits on the bank of the river Seine and is surrounded by typical Parisian cafes and shops. It is best known for hosting an amazing collection of impressionist paintings as well as furniture, sculpture, and decorative items. I have had the pleasure of visiting this museum on several occasions, and each time I walk away feeling inspired. I hope the artwork and coordinating beads that you find below will inspire you as well!
