Some I went to recently: the sculptures at the Rodin museum. A beautiful park near the Seine river with many of Rodin's masterworks. Went also to the Musée Antoine Bourdelle to admire Bourdelle's work which I rate as high as Rodin's. Went also to the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation to view the photos of Bruce Davidson. The images from his 100th St. work. I had marveled at these photos when Davidson's book came out but it was the first time I could get a close look at the prints.
