Although there's a lean towards French cinema at this Paris museum programs and exhibits are still pretty liberally focused on other countries as well. By the way, if you guessed that this is a Gehry building, you're right.
This is actually on the grounds of a winery and the colors here are meant to reflect a bottle of wine.If you look closely you can see wine on the top, and gold and silver which represent a wine bottle on the bottom.
Somehow, with all my trips to Paris I've never seen the Cinematheque. They have a really extensive collection of films, documentaries, and etc., and I believe they hold premieres as well. Right now they have an exhibit of Tim Burton stuff and one of French movie posters.
This might be my least favorite Gehry "building" of all time, but then again, I hate the idea of a Parisian Disneyland (I lived there the year it opened--there were a bunch of strikes because of it). Hate everything about this 80s-looking thing.
This has gotten a lot of flack over the years but I'm kind of into it. Also kind of cool that this museum combines music and science fiction. And what other museum hosts exhibits about both Bing Crosby and Queensryche.
It's amazing the spotlight this building focused on the city when it first opened. Gehry apparently "won" the commission through a contest and there's an atrium here that pays tribute to the original Guggenheim in NYC. This is one of my favorite Gehry's.
OK, not one of my favorite of his works--to close to Brutalism for me. Apparently this is public housing--kind of feel sorry for the people who live there.

Not only does this place have some great shows, but it's always free! Not surprisingly, Gehry won the Progressive Architecture Design Award for this building in 1991.
