PARIS MUSEUMS
The following are official sites designated by the museums. They offer virtual visits (Louvre), practical information, online ticket purchasing, articles from the press.
All are beautifully designed (needless to say)!
 
 
Le Louvre This site can give you an education in art history! Choice of English, French, Spanish or Japanese. Possibility to examine major art-pieces from the various periods of art history. Close-up zoom and detailed explanations of art pieces. 
The Pompidou Center (Beaubourg) This site is a little bit confusing, and not simple to navitage. Lots of information, but not very organized in its presentation.
Le Musée d'Orsay This site also offers the possibility of purchasing from their on-line boutique.
La Cité des Sciences Informative and original site. Only in French. This is the site of Le Parc de la Villette which regroups a number of museums, cultural centers, concert halls, etc. A learning site: helicoptors, locks, robots, cars, software. Read about gene therapy, TV screens of the future, the lunar eclipse in January. Real-audio interviews, riddles, games, films.
Le Musée Rodin Very pleasant site, easy to navigate. French or English. Lots of detail. Some web-design in flash.
Paris Opera Nicely designed site with thorough information regarding concerts, operas and ballets. Unfortunately, nothing about the history of the Opera building.
