The cooler side of Summer

It's been so hot in Atlanta, and all across the East coast.

But for a reprieve, albeit temporary, i wanted to share some photos i took while in London last...

One of my favorite photos of my City of Light, Sigh!

Bonne Année Paris from My French Chateau !!!!

Behind the scenes.....when the museum is closed!

Think that all is still and quiet in a museum when the doors are closed?

Think again!

There's a lot going on when the visitors are gone, and just as much when you see a gallery roped off.

Installation of a new exhibit takes a lot of work, and these massive paintings are not that easy to maneuver . It can take weeks for a new exhibition to come together.

And while re-painting a room and hanging the paintings seem simple compared to the workrooms which can be twice as busy! Crating and un-crating a painting takes time. Inspection of each work of art. Some works require restoration such as touch ups and cleaning, re-framing the list is endless!

So to give you an visual idea of what goes on, I have collected these photos from The Louvre, Musee d'Orsay, and the Metropolitian Museum of Art.

This will I've you some insight..... behind the scenes!

Enjoy!
