Many of the museums in Paris have free admission on the first Sunday of each month. We quickly learned not to try to go to one of the most popular museums (especially the Musée du Louvre or the Musée d'Orsay) on the free Sunday as the lines were incredibly long. Instead we would pick lesser-known museums and visit a different one each month.
The first Sunday of our visit we explored the Gustave Moreau museum. Moreau, a French Symbolist painter, started construction of the museum in his family home during his lifetime. We enjoyed seeing the combination of his art, personal art collection, rooms he lived in and his high-ceilinged studio (pictured above).
