Louis Vuitton Foundation, November 2021

First of all I was not expecting a Frank Gehry–designed building! My jaw dropped! I was saying to myslef oh this one resembles somehow the Walt Disney Concert Hall which I saw in summer of 2019 in Los Angeles. And bingo! This ship-like building of the Fondation Louis Vuitton opened to the public in October 2014. Its aspect is characterized…

Petit Palais – Musée des Beaux-Arts de la ville de Paris, November 2021

The Narcissus Theorem - Jean-Michel Othoniel 28 September 2021 to 02 January 2022 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…

Louvre Museum, March 2014

Louvre is a huge museum. You can really spend your whole day there and you won't be done. After a while you see so many magical pieces that you generate some kind of resistance in a way that you are not easily impressed. It is a bit of an overwhelming experience. If you visit the museum without any prior-research or…
