In one of my previous careers I was a frequent traveler.

Beginning in the early 1980s, business has taken me to France dozens of time. During my free time I’d often visit the city’s extraordinary art museums.

Early on I was able to photograph most of the artwork. However, some years later many of the museums began to put a moratorium on photographs. Now that most of us are unable to visit museums these days, I’ve come up with an alternative.

Below you’ll find a small set of photographed artwork that I have collected over the years. Most of these photos were taken at the famous Musee d’Orsay.

Please feel free to enjoy this artwork as you take a walk through my virtual art museum

Also available is my Virtual Art Museum video for those of you who prefer to just sit back and watch the masterpieces scroll by.
