Sećate se one fine nostalgične izmaglice, koju evocira Woody Allen u svom filmu Ponoć u Parizu? Kada vas vremeplov baci pravo za sto u Moulan Rougeu, za kojim sede lično Van Gogh, Paul Gaugain i verovatno najupečatljivija figura pariskog noćnog života, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, počinjete da se pitate da li ikada želite da se vratite u sadašnjost. Musee d'Orsay možda nije pravi vremeplov, ali definitivno će vas naterati da razmislite da li želite da izađete i - vratite se u realnost. Smestio se na levoj obali Sene, u prostoru stare, napuštene železničke stanice iz doba Belle Époque. Mnogo ga više volim od čuvenog Louvrea, jer, za razliku od besomučne jurnjave kroz hodnike, stilove i epohe, nudi jedno kompletno iskustvo, daje vam vremena i mesta da zaista osetite Pariz na prelazu između XIX i XX veka, udahnete revolucionarni duh impresionizma, divite se slobodi post-impresionizma. Hipnotisano gledam u Doručak na travi i razmišljam koliki je Mane bio panker. Impresionizam - kao novi pravac, novi manifest, prst u oko Akademiji, koja je odbila da ga izloži jer je, zaboga, bio - previše slobodan.

Remember that fine mist of nostaligia that Woody Allen wrapped around you so gently in his movie Midnight in Paris? When a time machine drops you right at the table with Van Gogh, Paul Gaugain and the infamous Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, you start wondering whether reality is worth coming back. Musee d'Orsay might not be a real time machine, but it will definitely make you wish you never have to leave. Comfortably settled on famous Rive gauche, the museum is actually an old railway station, evoking Belle Époque at every step. I prefer it to the famous Louvre, because, in contrast to its chaotic rundown through hallways, styles and epoques, Musee d'Orsay offers a complete experience, gives you both time and space to feel Paris at the turn of centuries. Adore the revolutionary spirit of impressionism, breathe the freedom post-impressionism has to offer! I stare hypnotized at Le déjeuner sur l'herbe and think how Manet was the biggest punker ever. The Royal Academy might have refused to exibit his work for being too liberal, but Manet and dozen of his like minded friends offered a manifesto, a new way of thinking, et voilà – the Impressionism was born.

A kad ste već kod Ajfelove kule, prošetajte i do Musée
du quai Branly. Prvo vas
šokira tišina koja vlada iza staklenog zida. Posle nekoliko mirnih momenata u bašti,
koje ste velikodušno poklonili sebi, spremni ste uronite u mistiku primitivnih
kultura. Musée du quai Branly još
jedan je od onih muzeja griže savesti,
koje kolonijalne sile licemerno podižu u spomen svojim kolonijama, čisto da
pokažu šta su sve opljačkale tokom godina ugnjetavanja. Ipak, moram priznati da
je arhitekta Jean Nouvel znalački
ostavio svetlo dramatično i prigušeno, a vezu sa prirodom neposrednu – na taj način sve dobija neku magijsku notu, nezaobilaznu u paganskim kulturama. Bravo za pogođenu temu, za arhitektu koji shvata da nije poenta da njegova arhitektura bude u centru pažnje.

If you find yourself anywhere near Eiffel Tower, don’t miss a chance to visit Musée du quai Branly. A first shock comes from the silence behind the glass wall. After you gave yourself a quiet moment in the beautiful museum garden, you’re ready to immerse yourself in the mystic world of primitive cultures. To tell you the truth, Musée du quai Branly is yet another of those guilty conscience museums, allegedly built to honor the colonies, but in reality just to show off the treasure colonial powers stole through the years of their tyrrany. Nevertheless, i must admit that Jean Nouvel, the famous French architect, knew what was he doing when he left the lights dimmed and dramatic, and connection to nature immediate and inevitable. This way you can definitely feel the magic, this ingredient so important to pagan cultures, in the air, and become part of it.
