Paris, 75001
France
Mon Feb 19 12:00am - Mon Feb 19 8:00am
Notes
This is huge museum and can easily take a full day and still not see everything. A must see! Most museums are free on the first Sunday of each month. I. M. Pei is the architect who designed the glass triangles for the entrance to the museum. He also designed the Morton Meyerson and the Wells Fargo Bank buildings (glass/mirrored building downtown) in Dallas.

Notes
We stop in here each time. This museum as well as most of the others offers student discount admission fee. I bet they would do the same for educators with ID. Right outside this museum is also the small studio museum of Constantine Brancusi, Father of Modern Sculpture. His apprentice was Isamu Noguchi who is a very famous and influential artist/sculptor. Paul talked with Noguchi and had made arrangements to be his apprentice but died before Paul got there. We visited Noguchi's Garden Museum in NY a couple weeks ago.

Tickets to go to the top were close to $20 I think. It is particularly beautiful at night. It has a nice restaurant near the top and prices are moderately expensive. We didn't eat there but I've heard it's good. The tower is lit up at night with lights similar to Reunion Tower in Dallas.
