Since we had the museum pass today we decided to revisit the Pompidou again as we had done with the Louvre but this time we went on the second gallery floor instead of the first. When we walked in this time something was different than before and it almost scared us coming in. It was a Louise Bourgeois sculpture, installed in advance of her exhibition opening March 5.

Today we went to the Louvre for a third time because we have the museum pass today. But this time we took pictures so you too could enjoy the artwork. Also some of the pictures aren’t as high quality because of uncontrollable variables (crowds, poor light, etc.)

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.
