My priority this morning was visiting the Musée des beaux-arts on Place Stanislas. Its collection spans several centuries of European art, with pieces by Rodin, Picasso, Monet, and many other familiar names.
It occupies one of the beautiful historic buildings on the square.
Once inside, you realize it has a huge modern addition not visible from the square. Here's a peek at it through the gates.
The lobby is quite beautiful. 
These are the grand stairs inside the lobby. 
The Opera House is opposite the Museum. This is the entrance on the side street entering the plaza. I was intrigued with the program for the most reason season, which include Les Noces by Bronislava Nijinska, Vaslav's sister. I saw that work decades ago and would love to see it again someday.
Little streets, little cars. I haven't seen a gas station here to check out the prices, but great gas mileage would ease the pain regardless. NOTE: Click on any image in this blog to see it full-size.
