The pyramid

X I imagine there are tens of thousands of photos of the Paris Pyramid on Flick , so do we need another one ?. The answer is probably not ; but I am going to post this postcard shot anyway. I remember seeing the Pyramid that was designed by I. M. Pei for the first time in 1990 and it was quite shocking . Over the years it has lost its ability to shock though I still feel it was an audacious blending of old and new and it still looks rather good in my opinion

 

The Louvre Pyramid is a large glass and metal pyramid designed by Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard , the Cour Napoléon of the Louvre Palace . The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
