THE MODERN ART MUSEUM |
|
|
|
 This
museum bordering the Seine has a permanent collection of
paintings and sculpture owned by the city, but come here only if
visits to the d'Orsay and Louvre haven't satiated you. It
presents ever-changing exhibits on individual artists from all
over the world or on trends in international art. You'll find
works by Chagall, Matisse, Léger, Rothko, Braque, Dufy, Picasso,
Utrillo, and Modigliani. Seek out Pierre Tal Coat's Portrait of
Gertrude Stein and keep Picasso's version of this difficult
subject in mind. The Musée des Enfants has exhibits and shows
for children |

THE ARC DE TRIOMPHE |
|
|
|
 At
the western end of the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe
suggests an ancient Roman arch, only it's larger. Actually, it's
the biggest triumphal arch in the world, about 49m (161 ft.)
high and 44m (144 ft.) wide. To reach it, don't try to cross the
square, Paris's busiest traffic hub. With a dozen streets
radiating from the "Star," the roundabout has been called by one
writer "vehicular roulette with more balls than numbers" (death
is certain!). Take the underground passage and live a little
longer. |
