Free Day

A number of museums in Paris are free on the first Sunday of the month. After lunch, Jane headed back to Geneva and me, Gina, Claire went to take advantage. First, the Musee Picasso. It was a little disappointing because the permanent collection was largely in storage and there was a huge exhibit of his sketches...since I'm into his colors as much as anything else, sketches don't do it for me...moreover, there were no explanations of anything, which definitely didn't make it an appropriate exhibit for people who had never seen his works before (like Gina). We did find one old friend:

We went over to the Pompidou next to briefly walk through the new organization of their collection. I was intrigued by a rather large desk lamp:

Now back at home. Almost dinner time!!
