Museum With A View



Located in the Centre Pompidou, the Musée National d'Art Moderne is the national museum for modern art of France. It has a huge collection of approximately 50,000 works of art spanning the movements of cubism, surrealism, and pop art. The Centre Pompidou is designed in the style of "high tech artchitecture" (looking like a Willy Wonka fun factory), and offers amazing views of Paris. Here are some snapshots from the top:
