Fondation Louis Vuitton: Gehry's new Paris masterpiece

[lynnb]

The new Fondation Louis Vuitton, Gehry's new Paris masterpiece, opened on 27 October. It's an art museum and cultural centre with a striking design of glass "clouds" - put "Gehry Vuitton Paris" into Google images to see some images.

Looks like a great addition to photo opportunities in the city of light.

Went to check this out Lynn. Was mostly puzzled by the smaller photos I found first. Then found this "Guardian" photo

that I thought showed the structure at its best. Looking most like the skeleton of an ancient galleon and the billowy parts reminiscent of sails. Have to admit I like it closeup, but am not too fond of what it contributes to the Parisian landscape in the distant shot.
