Mudam Luxembourg - Musée d’Art Moderne

Can you recall one of those times when you enter a modern art museum and the build’s space, design and dimensions is more captivating than the art? This was ONE OF THOSE TIMES! Thank you I.M. Pei.  MUDAM - Musée d’Art Moderne

"The building by famous Sino-American architect ieoh Ming Pei is a marvellous dialogue between the natural and historical environment. Standing against the vestiges of Fort Thüngen, it follows the course of the former surrounding walls, and is rooted in the Park Dräi Eechelen which offers magnificent views onto the old town just a short walk from the European district of Kirchberg."

"Pei's first major recognition came with the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado (designed in 1961, and completed in 1967). His new stature led to his selection as chief architect for the John F. Kennedy Library in Massachusetts. He went on to design Dallas City Hall and the East Building of the National Gallery of Art. He returned to China for the first time in 1975 to design a hotel at Fragrant Hills, and designed Bank of China Tower, Hong Kong, a skyscraper in Hong Kong for the Bank of China fifteen years later. In the early 1980s, Pei was the focus of controversy when he designed a glass-and-steel pyramid for the Musée du Louvre in Paris. He later returned to the world of the arts by designing the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas, the Miho Museum in Japan, the Suzhou Museum in Suzhou, and the Museum of Islamic Art in Qatar."
