Paris, France: Orsay Museum

The Orsay Gallery, famous for its much-loved collection of Impressionist masterpieces, fills a magnificent building once used as a train station with art from 1848 to 1914. Old World meets the modern world in these halls, resulting in conservative and revolutionary pieces side by side.

Rick lives in Edmonds, Washington (U.S.). Some videos are more recent than others; they are clips from Rick's public television shows 2003-2009.

My husband and I listened to Rick's audioguide of the Orsay during our first trip there last spring. It gave us a real understanding and appreciation of what it was we were looking at (we know nothing of art) in a magnificently accessible way. He really brought everything to life and made our stop at the Orsay one of the many highlights! Bravo Rick!
