the 1970s I've visited several times, last in 1997, bypassed it in 2004. This is so bad, they have to remedy this soon.

Musee d'Orsay in Paris is great in the renovated grand train station with its 19th c. art collection. And the Rodin Museum, more.

Musee d'Orsay, Paris; Renior's 'Bal du Moulin de la Galette' 1876, Impressionist painting.
