Hey, we took a selfie with a butt.

So the title of this post may be a little confusing. But just bear with me.

This day in our journey abroad could no doubt be titled "Modern Art Day." This was actually a free day, but Julia, Emily, Morgan, and I chose to spend our day visiting the Salvador Dali Museum and the Pompadou Modern Art Museum. We were definitely tuckered out by all of the art by the end of the day, but it was an awesome experience.

First the Salvador Dali Museum. This was probably my favorite museum of the day. A tiny little place situated up on Montmartre (Yes, we got to visit Montmartre once again.), the Salvador Dali Museum featured an array of Dali's wacky works as well as the stories and analyses behind them. While Dali's work is kinda out there, I could always find some kind of reasoning, some kind of inner motive behind each piece. It was intriguing. Dali also put his own twist on many of the works we had seen in the Louvre the day before, which was pretty cool.

Next the Pompadou Museum. The artwork in here took a little more getting used to. Upon approaching the museum, we were greeted with nothing but a web of pipes, wires, and tubes. Essentially, the building is inside out, which I thought was pretty awesome. Once inside, the building is like a mall. While it took hours for us to find our way to the actual museum, we eventually made it there.

While the museum featured many works by Picasso and an exhibit on the Beat Generation and a chair exhibit and so on, my favorite artwork was probably the gallery dedicated to Paul Klee. I found stories in his works I didn't find quite as much in some others.

Also the story behind the title of this post. It's pretty simple actually. There were was an artwork with a mirror and a woman bending over. So we took a selfie with it.

Until next time and au revoir. M
