How are you?
The 3rd place I would like to
introduce for this week is the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris in Paris, France.
Located between the
Champs-Elysées and the Eiffel Tower, Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris is a symbol
of 1930s architecture and one of the representative establishments of the
Parisian cultural field. The museum has more than 15,000 works of art from the
20th century to the present, including monumental murals by Raoul Dufy, Gaston
Suisse, and Henri Matisse.
Located in the eastern
wing of the Palais de Tokyo and constructed for the International Exhibition of
Arts and Technology of 1937, the museum was inaugurated in 1961. Then, after a
period of renovation, it reopened on February 2, 2006, with an exhibition
dedicated to Pierre Bonnard.

It is also one of 14
City of Paris' Museums, which since January 1, 2013, have been incorporated in
the public institution Paris Musées.
Among the museum
collection, the modern collection focuses on the artistic movements that have
developed in Paris since Fauvism in 1905, while the contemporary collection
from the 1960s is more open to the European artistic scene such as Nouveau
Réalisme. More recently, the collection has spread the artists from all over
the world, including the United States, China, Africa, etc.
The works of
Modigliani currently in the possession of the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris are
as follows.
