[sameh111, 05/01/2012] Despite of the admiration of all my friends and my family, of this museum and the graphics I'm not impressed by this . I am not interested in the arts in general .

To him, it ranks as one of the "most important" and "pleasant" art museums the capital has to offer. The building itself is an important part of the museum's appeal with its "superbly organised" space and "welcoming" luminosity. He was particularly taken by the fact that visitors could gaze "over Paris" from "the famous clock face". He remarks on how "well-exhibited" the art is which makes the visit go "painlessly". To him, this museum shows "Impression [more]
