I came here several years ago to attend the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition on French bread. The building itself was nondescript and small but the show was very French and very cool. Couture ballgowns and corsets, including Madonna's famous cone shaped bra were constructed entirely out of French bread, many of which were baguettes. It was probably the best smelling art exhibition that I've ever been to. In addition, they would sell baguettes, and croissants right in the exhibition. For a bread lover like me, it was truly a moveable feast.

    I really like it. These designs are beautiful and extremely complex. Some are almost impossible to imagine; what really surprises me and impresses me is that most designs are built, and I find video clips of several construction projects very attractive. Junya Ishii is a skilled architect and a very smart artist and thinker. As far as the actual building is concerned, it's quite good; it has air conditioning, glass, a small garden and a cafe. I hope to visit another exhibition one day.

    This is also a place sponsored by Cartier to display contemporary works of art. Because people are watching quietly in the exhibition, I am not ashamed to take photos, the collection is also very good, and some are also very precious.

    I like the appearance very much. It's all transparent glass. It's very design-oriented. The exhibits will be replaced regularly. They are all interesting contemporary works of art. It happened to be a theme exhibition on animals and nature. There were visual and auditory exhibitions, paintings, videos, audio, and other things about the protection of natural environment. It was very interesting and educational. Many parents came with their children. The garden behind was also beautiful.

    In 1994, the Cartier Foundation for Contemporary Art moved to Paris and has since been situated in a spacious and bright building designed by renowned architect Jean Nouvel. In its unique display environment, it seems that exhibitions, conferences and works of art have gained some new vitality.
