Winged Victory of Samothrace, Louvre II
Winged Victory of Samothrace, Louvre (September 2009)
The approach to the Winged Victory of Samothrace is as dramatic as the statue itself.
No matter how many times I see the Winged Victory, she still has the power to take my breath away.

Sculpture, Musee d’Orsay
Sculpture, Musee d'Orsay (September 2009)
After a few hours of searching, I still can’t find the name of this sculpture in the Musee d’Orsay, but I like the way the sculpture and the architecture combine in this picture.

Interior, National Museum of Australia
Interior, National Museum of Australia
The interior of the National Museum of Australia is as bright, garish, and architecturally interesting as its exterior.
National Air and Space Museum, Washington D.C.
The Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, National Air and Space Museum, Washington D.C.
Children play in the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Centre, part of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Not only are the exhibits themselves impressive (counting among their number the space shuttle Enterprise and the SR-71 Blackbird), but the architecture isn’t too shoddy either, in an industrial kind of way.
(Note to anyone planning a visit – if you are trying to get there via public transport, allow plenty of time!)
