Sunblock!

I showed you the outside of L'Institut du Monde Arabe, a Paris building (mostly a museum) dedicated to the Arab world, several times, but I never showed you the inside, and especially the clever windows that open or shut automatically like a camera lense (or a human eye!) according to the outside light. Here you go then... A shot that I took on the last floor (Parisians will know that I did not take it yesterday as it rained almost all day!).

  8. You've captured the ambience perfectly. You've also made me think that it might be time to revisit this fascinating place.

  9. Thank you everyone. I should have shown you the inside much earlier in fact... It's a great place to visit, for sure.
