La Pyramide du Louvre a 20 ans

Photobucket

This week the Louvre are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the infamous glass pyramid designed by I.M. Pei.

I spent an hour or so tonight at the free public exhibition by american conceptual artist Jenny Holzer, who created Xenon projections of texts by the artist to light up the pyramid and the Louvre’s facade.

If you're in Paris at the moment, tomorrow night (Friday April 10th) is your last chance to see this work on such a grand canvas.
