anyone who enjoys a day at the dia in new york should head directly to the fondation cartier - pour l'art contemporain.
a little bijou set off, set off boulevard raspail, is the architectural work of jean nouvel (institut du monde arabe fame). the steel and glass facade is the front for a series of changing and interesting exhibits which make for a perfect rainy morning. the works are always interesting and exciting, and it is a pleasure to see them in this light. the adjoining garden appears as a natural and welcome extension of the building, firmly entrenching it in the exterior.
a highly recommended stop, not necessarily for the first time visitor to paris, but certainly for the tried and true who like to soak in every corner of the city and all that makes it relevant and modern in this era ...
