Grand Palais
Grand Palais is a very versatile museum space, and it hosts numerous events, from automobile salons to art exhibitions and food shows. The building itself is magnificent, a fine example of the Beaux-Arts architectural style, a true embodiment of La Belle Époque. It was my first time at the Grand Palais, during the time we passed by with my sister it was under preparation of some event and we don't have the time to enter inside i read it on the article that it was about the "Toulouse-Lautrec: Resolutely Modern" dedicated to the great post-Impressionist artist was nothing short of excellent. Located on several levels, it was the most comprehensive exposition of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, with works from the museums in private collections, from Brazil and the USA to Russia and England.
