Musée National d'Art Moderne

After visiting the Louvre on Wednesday, Thursday was time to 'hit up' a modern art museum (which is more  my thing). I have to say that I actually enjoyed the Modern Art Museum more than the Louvre. The highlight was a temporary exhibition from India. It had a heavy focus on the environment (particularly the treatment of e-waste) but also addressed on cultural issues (such as the suicide of young women from poor families not being able to come up with a sufficient dowry for marriage) and rape. It was all very well done and very interesting! I really enjoy art work that makes me think about an issue that is relevant in the world. Above is a  photo of a reflection of me in one of the art pieces!
