PomPompidou

The Centre Pompidou looks like an enormous futuristic monster, especially since it is surrounded by the more traditional Parisian buildings.  As a student, I get many advantages, one of which is a free pass to most museums.  The museum in le Pompidou is full of modern art.  Like all art, what I saw here was either shocking, incomprehensible, disgusting, magnificent...and the adjectives continue. 

 There is a large transparent tunnel on the side of the Pompidou, and so once you have climbed high up, you have a magnificent view of Paris.  From here I saw the Eiffel Tower, the Sacré Cœur, and other monuments, all lit up and right in front of me. 

 The view from a strange terrace on the highest floor.

 When you first enter the Museum area on the 4th floor, you see two wonderful sculptures.

 You can guess at the art in this room.  There were many many films here, one of which was a part of this "Genital Panic" section and created by Yoko Ono.

Much of the art was interactive.  In this room, the art was accompanied by instructions.  On this structure, for example, you are instructed to stand on the ledge and look down.  On another, you must lie down and look up, and on a third you must sit down and look straight ahead.

 This was so much more amazing in person than in this photograph...but you can see, the ceiling is missing some chunks of white shapes.
