Beaubourg / Pompidou, yesterday

Had a most fabulous day yesterday with meine Freundin Chris, totally rainy day with some crazy sun spots, and we were lucky to be at Centre Pompidou / beaubourg all day for Matisse (no photos allowed), Richter and their amazing contemporary permanent collection. We were too tired to see the permanent modern collection......
