This place was a hidden gem for me. I have been to Paris for the 4. time now and it was my first time here. On top of this it is for free! Yay! If you are on a budget but still want to see some museum and see the works of some well-known artists, this place is the right one. The temporary exhibition of Othoniel was also wonderful. I really liked the items he produced, they seemed to be fitting the yard very well. There is also a cafeteria in the yard where you can enjoy a cup of coffee o even have lunch.
Rivers of blue bricks, Lotus, Necklaces, Crown of the Night, Wild Knots, and Precious Stonewall are hidden in the architecture.
Forget about the art works inside, the building itself is marvelllous, you feel like to be able to see it
