Another Paris icon

Here’s another icon of the Paris experience, from a different perspective: the Pyramid at the Louvre. Designed by I.M. Pei, the Pyramid was added as an entrance to the Louvre Museum in 1989 to improve the flow of crowds entering the museum.

The Pyramid brightens and opens up an otherwise underground entrance to this enormous museum. Some people like it, others don’t. It certainly is a stark contrast in the palatial realm of the Louvre. Come back tomorrow for a different view of this unique structure.
