I'll be honest: I'm a nature person and a foodie at heart — museums were never the main event for me.
Then came the Musée d'Orsay, a last-minute Paris decision. My husband stood before a painting that had inspired his own art when he was young, and he cried. I fell for the Monets and the Van Goghs.
The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam? I've been twice, and I cry every time. At the Louvre, the Mona Lisa was wonderful — but the Egypt wing stole my heart, and we ended the day with French pastries and a lovely lunch.
Museums bring you into a place like nothing else. Today is Go to an Art Museum Day — has a museum ever moved you when you weren't expecting it? Tell me which one.
