Our stop today was at the Pompidou arts museum. The place is filled with recent and not so recent pieces of post-impressionism art that includes cubism and surrealism art. One of the most amazing facts about the building is that it has an outside (though enclosed) set of escalade stairs that take you to the different floors of the building.
Inside is just as amazing as the outside. The museum has a two floor part. The first floor of the museum is filled with not so new art. Piece such as Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse (my all time fav) are located here.
The second floor has new art dating all the way to current time period.
Furthermore the Pompidou also host different galleries (4 total if your wondering). My favorite galleries were the Beats Generation and Pierre Paulin exhibits.
The Beat Generation exhibit was all about the time of oppression that brought out art. They Beat Generation was also recognized as a beginning and major part of the “hippy” life. Something I found cool was these telephones. If you dialed a number a poem would be recited to you.
The Pierre Paulin was about furniture. Mostly chairs. While this doesn't seem interesting it actually was really cool. His furniture was a revolution at home decore and I recognize many pieces from the 60s to 80s time period. Also the chairs are super comfortable. (I did not sit on the display pieces only those allowed)
