What is this? A museum for ants?!
It needs to be at least… 3 times bigger
Reference, for old people.
I have nothing to say about this
From Tivoli Gardens (think Denmark Disneyland)
It appears they are (justifiably) giving the whole park the finger.
Vote for Sloth!
She’ll get us where we need to be… eventually
Musee de L’Orangerie
Today we ventured out to the 1st Arrondissement to visit an often overlooked museum: Musee de L’Orangerie.

We will be retreating to air-conditioned spaces for the next several days. Does anyone have some good movie recommendations?

Hooray for museums
Following Tiara’s lead on Copenhagen retrospective. Here’s some more outdoor fun from the Louisiana museum.
A Look Back at Copenhagen
We were only in Copenhagen for a couple of days but despite our short timeline and the wet weather we managed to see a lot. Our first night we visited Tivoli to see the imaginative rides:
