Another beautiful modern art gallery from Francois Pinault. Buy a ticket for one and you can visit the other for free for a year. This is a beautiful space! A Venetian palazzo full of great art. I was here for Youssef Nabil and Henri Cartier-Bresson. Nabil has a great ethic, to capture the erotic power of Egypt. A video of 28 minutes of every kiss in Egyptian cinema is a flying start. There are stills of the goddesses of cinema: Deneuve, Ardant and Rosselini in an Egyptian style and possibly the best is "I saved a belly dancer", 12 minutes of Selma Hayek belly dancing.
That's the top floor.
Then you have a floor of cleverly curated Cartier-Bresson. The highlight here was Wim Wenders film. He filmed himself ruminating over Bresson's - quite hypnotic.
And facilities are nice. Ground floor toilets. Cafe on the mezzanine and beautiful staff
