Centre Pompidou

Today we went to visit the Centre Pompidou, as it was the first Sunday of the month and thus it was free!  The Pompidou is the Paris Modern Art museum. The exterior is really interesting because it's built so that all the functional pieces (like air ducts, electricity, and escalators) are on the outside instead of the inside.

The inside was pretty interesting too. There are two floors, and the 4th one is the most recent modern art (1970's onward) and the 5th floor covers the rest of the 1900's. I really like modern art and how much is frustrates everyone else, so the fact that a whole room was dedicated to three blank canvases (which I myself had in my apartment before Kara moved in) being the pinnacle of that.

So while I was happy to finally see the museum, I wouldn't consider it a "must-see" attraction. But if you have the time, we both did enjoy it overall.
