La Halle aux grains A restaurant on the top floor of the Bourse de Commerce, a contemporary art museum. This restaurant serves original French cuisine by Bras, a father and son team who have won Michelin stars. The building itself used to be a grain exchange, so the menu focuses on grains and seeds, and it feels somehow healthy. All the dishes are delicately seasoned, and it feels like a French restaurant that Japanese people will love! The prices are quite high, but it's worth it!! 2 rue de Viarmes 75001 Paris FRANCE 3rd floor of the Bourse de Commerce #ParisTrip #ParisGourmet #Gourmet #ParisRestaurant #ParisMuseum

#aprilblooms Paris in the Spring is one of my favorite times to visit for many reasons. The terraces are packed with people from lunch to past happy hour, and the city starts to bloom with spring flowers. It begins with the magnolia blossoms, followed by apple, cherry, and chestnut blossoms. Paris is sprinkled with different shades of pink from March through May, and it is stunning. 🌸 One of the best spots for cherry blossom season is next to Notre Dame Cathedral in Square Jean XXIII. Early in the morning before the crowds show up, the perfect spot is just on the edge of the Seine River. 🌸 Jardin des Plantes is an excellent spot to see Paris in bloom. The garden has the best cherry blossom trees with white and pink blossoms. You cannot miss them as you enter from the main street. Jardin des Plantes is a destination in Paris during the blossom season. Grab a coffee at Strada and walk over to soak up the sun and blossoms. 🌸 There are two places to spot the cherry blossoms near the Eiffel Tower. From the Trocadero gardens, trees are lining the sidewalk, which was much smaller a few years ago and has probably grown in size over time.

#EuropeanTravel Located in the Nelson Mendela Gardens, this is a modern art museum where you can see artworks exhibited at the stock exchange. This is a space where you can view various modern art pieces in a magnificent and splendid dome-shaped medieval building. The dome-shaped building, designed by Tadao Ando and using exposed concrete, is so beautiful that it can be considered a representative landmark of Paris. The interior of the art museum is so spacious that you can view it for about 3 hours. It is recommended to purchase tickets in advance, but you can also purchase them on site.

These cultural landmarks in Paris are unique and showcase France's rich history and artistic heritage: 1. **Opéra Garnier**: This neo-Baroque building is one of the most famous opera houses in Paris, famous for its ornate decorations, marble staircases and Chagall's frescoes on the ceiling. The interior of the opera house is magnificent, while the exterior is luxurious with sculptures and gilded details. 2. **Musée du Louvre**: One of the largest museums in the world, the Louvre is famous for its glass pyramid entrance and rich art collection. The museum's collection includes art treasures such as the Mona Lisa, the Venus Statue and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, covering works of art from ancient civilization to the 19th century. 3. **National Library of France (Bibliothèque nationale de France)**: This modern library is one of the most important cultural institutions in France, housing millions of books, manuscripts and precious documents. Its architectural design combines tradition and modernity, symbolizing the inheritance and innovation of knowledge. 4. **Paris Maritime Museum (Musée national de la Marine)**: Located in the Trocadero Palace, the museum displays the rich heritage of France's maritime history, including ship models, navigation instruments and historical artifacts. The exhibition delves into the development of the French Navy and the history of ocean exploration. These landmarks are not only cultural symbols of Paris, but also important witnesses of world art and history.

The museum retains classical elements and adds modern works by Tadao Ando. Very harmonious, every angle is a display of beauty. One of the must-see attractions in Paris, you can arrange a half-day trip and then take a leisurely stroll along the Seine River. #Paris #Exhibition #Art #Europe #Travel #Tadao Ando

🫧Pinot Collection🫧 I'm introducing one of the lesser-known modern art museums in Korea:) Actually, I don't know much about modern art, so I don't really like it, but I recommend this museum because even people who don't know about it can enjoy it! It exhibits the collection of François Pinault, the honorary chairman of the Kering Group. The parent company of Gucci and Bottega Veneta is Kering Group:) The Pinault Collection, which was renovated by Japanese architect Tadao Ando from an old trading post! There are many places in Europe that use old buildings instead of destroying them, which is nice! I first saw Maurizio's work here, but at the time, I didn't know anything and stood in line to go in, but I was so shocked that I left. Later, I saw an exhibition in Korea and found out that the work was Maurizio's work 🤣🤣 The flies I saw from the window were pretty, and there are many interesting works here and there:) There are pigeons inside, and they're really well-made to look real..! And please find the white mouse that I'm talking about! So cute🤍🤍 ✔️Opening hours: Mon-Thu, Sat-Sun: 11:00-19:00 (Closed on Tue) Fri: 11:00-21:00 Free on the first Saturday of every month (17:00-21:00, Reservation required) ✔️Location: 2 Rue de Viarmes, 75001 Paris, France ✔️Tips -Museum Pass 🙅🏻♀️ -Currently, in celebration of Freege Seoul 2024, Song Eun Gallery is exhibiting the Pinault Collection in collaboration with Saint Laurent!

The museum seamlessly integrates sculptures, paintings, and art installations with the exhibition space. ⭐️The museum offers free admission after 4 PM on Saturdays, and disabled visitors can bring one companion for free. Additionally, there are free art and architecture tours available, though most are conducted in French. 💞Recommendation: This museum is perfect for those seeking an in-depth cultural experience. It's a place where you can quietly appreciate the charm of the circular space and the rich exhibits, offering an excellent viewing experience.

This time I went to Paris and visited the Bourse de Commerce-Pinault Collection, which was renovated by Tadao Ando. Tadao Ando's renovation of historical buildings has always emphasized the dialogue between the new and the old. In this art museum, he chose to insert another circle into the original dome building, a clear, conflicting and elegant concrete cylinder that runs through the entire exhibition space. In addition to making the light and shadow changes through the glass dome richer, it also allows visitors to appreciate this unique building from a variety of angles through the corridors. In the central rotunda, the mirror installation To Breathe – Constellation designed by Korean artist Kimsooja for the museum presents the contrast between good and evil, reality and illusion, and real and virtual, making the concrete building more dreamy. If you are also a lover of art and architecture, be sure to include this place in your Paris list🤍 🩶Warm reminder that it is closed on Tuesdays and will open at 11:00 am

Google map search: Bourse de Commerce - Pinault Collection Introduction Originally the Paris Commodities Exchange, it was later entrusted to Japanese architect Tadao Ando and others for transformation into an art museum. The concept was to create a building that 'connects the past, present, and future,' preserving the glass and metal dome structure while adding a main exhibition hall, turning the commodities exchange into a multifunctional circular art space. Tadao Ando used fair-faced concrete and light-and-shadow magic to add a lot to this historic building. The exhibits mainly feature modern avant-garde art and are worth a visit. In the corner of the ground floor shop, there's a cute little white mouse (postcard p8) that's perfect for a photo op.

#wheretogo Address: 2 Rue de Viarmes, 75001 Paris, France. Getting there: You can take underground and stop at Les Halles station. The place is just 8 minutes’ walk away from the station. Highlights: Visiting the Bourse de Commerce museum is a magical experience for me. It's tough to decide what is more inspiring - the artworks on display or the building itself. Suggest combining visit with Pompidou centre as they are fairly close to each other and have complementary exhibitions. There are also free lockers to store your belongings, very spacious and the best design I've seen in a long time. Opening hours: 11 am to 7 pm daily, closed on Tuesday. #paris #awesomepic

"The Museum of Inhumanity and Extravagance". Founder of Kering Group, Mr. Pinault, who is on par with LVMH, has spent 15 million euros to rent the Bourse de Commerce, located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris (with an annual rent of 60,000 euros to be paid to the Paris City Hall). Pinot is dedicated to collecting contemporary art. He says he "buys every day" and "doesn't believe that people today cannot create great works like Picasso." The works exhibited here are all from his personal collection. But for some reason, his collection lacks a certain warmth. Perhaps it's the minimalist design and simple color choices. The photos are impressive and high-quality. London's Brexit, can Paris become the center of contemporary art in Europe? It's not something that Pinot can achieve alone.
