Musée de la Vie Romantique


Thursday I went up to Montmarte to visit the Museum of Romantic Life, a small but really sweet museum. The Ground Floor holds all the personal items of George Shand, and that floor was neat although I don't know too much about her. The first floor (oh PS fun French fact- the first floor is what we would consider the second floor. So, for example, the family lived on the 4th floor in their old apartment, but up 5 flights of steps). The second floor was, apparently, the art of Ary Scheffer... HOWEVER, shockingly enough- France was striking on Thursday! I know, right?! So the museum was way understaffed and the only man working there had to shut off the upstairs because he couldn't guard both. But it was still a nice little museum and I'm glad I got to visit (it's been on my list for ages)
