We purchased the Paris Museum Pass and visited numerous museums and art galleries. Of course we had to visit the Louvre and the Musee d'Orsay. I was amazed at the crowds in all of the galleries and museums. I had been to Paris before in the summer and the crowds weren't as large as at the end of February! One of the benefits of the Museum Pass is that it gives you priority access or allows you to book a specific entrance time.

We visited the Musee de l'Orangerie, an art gallery of impressionist and post-impressionist paintings. Above is Picasso's "Grande Nature Morte", painted in 1917.
