Today I headed north of the port to explore an area of Nice I have not seen - (OK, I confess I have been here before, but in the last entry you can see the attraction!) - and I found an awesome Museum of Modern Art. And I had the oddest Deja Vu moment when I went into one gallery and saw that Christo's early work was exhibited there - the very Christo I had just told stories about at the conference a few days ago. So I photographed like mad, because now when I tell my students (and others) that he pays for his environmental art projects with the art he creates, I can demonstrate that a Nice museum has collected his work.
I also discovered Nikki de Saint Phalle in this museum, and I have become a fan of hers - you can see some pictures
. And on the roof of the museum is a stepped terrace, with magnificent views of Nice and of sculptures there - It was an amazing day.
I would write more, but it is late so let me sign off with this entry, and get ready to head home.
