There is no doubt that Paris is a sanctuary for the art lover. With its museums standing as timeless icons, they are just as inseparable from the city’s charm as the Seine itself. I dare say we all know the Louvre, an icon in and of itself housing masterpieces ranging from the Mona Lisa to Venus de Milo to the Winged Victory of Samothrace, while nearby, the Musee d'Orsay unfolds the splendor of Impressionism within its grand setting of a former railway station. Across town, the Centre Pompidou dazzles with its avant-garde vision and contemporary vibrancy, while the Musee de l'Orangerie offers a serene escape, inviting visitors to lose themselves in Monet’s Water Lilies. With an art scene as enduring as its cafes and Haussmann architecture, Paris takes the cake as the unrivaled gallery of the world.
