Another shot of the Sacre Coeur, this one taken from a place in the 
viewing area unobstructed by glass.
And another.  Note in this one you can see that the steps in front 
of the Sacre Coeur are teeming with people.
Buildings in the direction of the Sacre Coeur.  Notice the rooftop 
plants.  Also, I think the (numerous) stovepipes look like garden pots.
One of the viewing corridors atop the Pompidou.

Pompidou: Inside
This Paris-Delhi-bombay sign could be a Game clue.
Close-up of the symbols in the sign.
This room makes me think of Dr. Seuss.
The inside of the room.

A good description of / details about the room.
I swear all of modern art could a Game clue.  Look at the irregular 
color patterns on the walls and floor.
Bernard Frize's Oma.  Yes, this picture is in focus.

Can you guess why I photographed this?  Yup: a Game clue.  Hanging 
mirrors.
This work is actually a sound installation.  The mirrors are shining 
circular speakers.
More about sound art installations in general.
I liked Andre Lemonnier's exploration of colors, and most of the color room in general.

No explanation necessary. Game clue.  
Untitled (Color) by Jim Hodges.
This large mushroom sculpture, Giant Triple Mushroom (amanita 
muscaria) by Carsten Holler, makes me think of Alice in 
Wonderland.
Germaine Richier's statues L'orage and L'ouragane are on a 
exterior platform surrounded by water.

I like this Georges Braque: L'Estaque.
Apparently he was under Cezanne's influence at the time.

A panoramic video of a room containing more paintings by these artists, 
and others.
A description of the artistic movement that brought ought what I think 
of as the luminous color room.
A room of Brassai photographs.  Those who've visited me know why I felt
the need to record this.
These are the prints I like the most in this room, though none anywhere 
near as much as the print I own.

In the Paris-NY photography room, I found a Brassai more like the one I 
have.  It's Brassai's Central Station New York.

Another tall, thin statue of a man for my collection.  This is by 
Alberto Giacometti.
The wall label for the display.

I like the feel of Dado's (Djuric Miodrag's) paintings but find the subject matter off-putting. Hence, I didn't photograph any.

Yves Klein works with incredibly vibrant blues.
Interesting information about "his" blue.
I like what this does to my eyes. High resolution.
