Musée du Quai Branly

The Musée du Quai Branly is BIG and like the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay it is probably best to visit it twice rather than trying to see everything on one visit. After Africa and Oceania I was too saturated to take in much of Asia and the Americas.

Willem de Kooning at the Kunsthal

Compared with the retrospective at the Tate Gallery in 1995 this is a rather poor, pared down survey of Willem de Kooning's body of work.
