| Today we visited Pompidou Metz, to see the new "1917" exhibition. As you can guess, there were lots of WWI related objects and artworks. I was bit worried about the reaction of Alex, to view so much death related imagery. But he was okay. He said he felt sad, because of all of the people who died. |

| Almost there... they are building a theatre right next to the Pompidou, which I think was a mistake, but obviously finances were more important than aesthetics. They are also building new apartments just behind this...and next to them will eventually be a shopping mall. |
