Monday we got a late start and we decided to head to the Pompideau Center, the Museum for Contemporary Art. It was a great contrast to the Louvre and the classical artists, as it contains original works of the great artists of the 20th Century: Picasso, Dali, Andy Warhol, Matisse, and the artists that were their contemporaries. It seems that all of these people collaborated in order to create the different schools of modern art.
The building itself is a work of art, with plenty of glass on the exterior, with a red escalator on the outside of the building. On the 6th floor we had great views of the city. The courtyard was exactly what we thought Monmarte would be: artisans displaying original works and crafting them before our eyes, street dancers and musicians. There was an electric feeling of creative energy in the air.
We ate at an outdoor cafe at Happy Hour where Mari had delicious mojitos and was feeling no pain as we headed back.
