Fondation Louis Vuitton

On a sunny and mild day, I walked down some roads in the Bois de Boulogne to the Fondation Louis Vuitoon which was in a building designed by Frank Gehry and opened 10 years ago. The galleries house contemporary art exhibitions. One exhibition featured Ellsworth Kelly and especially his coloured shapes on walls. Another featured Henri Matisse and his L'Atelier Rouge painting and the other paintings depicted in it.
The building had a grotto with 43 yellow columns and mirror panels.
