    For architecture buffs, beautiful building designed by Norman Foster

    The building and view you get once inside is amazing.... but the exibitions are not that great if you don't really know that much about contemporary art. The explanations are all in French which makes it hard if you would like to get to know more. The ticket is also a bit expencive, 6 euro for students.
