Institut du Monde Arabe

















Wandered down to the Institut du Monde Arabe. One entire wall of the building is covered in what looks like an Arabian screen but the apertures open and close with the sun. They had a great exhibition of Islamic weaponly from the 10th to 18th century.
Finally went to some bars yesterday and today. Sorta odd sitting at a dinky tablesfacing the street rather than standing around in beer barns that we are used to in Australia.

I suppose it's comforting that we still have the NGV water wall in Melbourne - though it's getting rather mouldy - wish we had flippy sun-panels on our gallery - and some atmosphere. Our collection's fantastic, but the exhibition of it is disappointing.
