For two days we have intensively used the museum pass. A has organized the visits, three to the Louvre for an overview, sculpture, then Franch and Italian painting. He is an enthusiastic and curious visitor, who bought a book about the Louvre’s collection and read it between visits. One of his favorites is David’s Rape of the Sabine Women. That’s rape in the sense of kidnapping. His favorite part of the work is a menacing baby in the bottom front. Click on the thumbnail to see a larger image.

We walked from our apartment across la Cité to the Pompidou Center this morning and with the museum pass we were at the front of a very long line to get in.
My favorite part was the selections from the 2005 Vience Biennale, including this plane made from things left at the airport. There are a lot of small scissors imbedded in the armature.
