The Palais de Tokyo is the way art should be..

On the suggestions of one of our visiting lecturers we returned to the Palais De Tokyo, a modern art museum near the EffielTower. The museum is open from 12pm to 1 am and the contemporary art show opens around 8;30 at night. (Because really who can go to a museum between the hours of 10 & 5 anyways)

The show had short films, hanging gardens, life size lily pads, photo documentarion from areas the the US military has continued to use as target practice and the obligatory naked montage. The art was experiencial, and enganging.

The real novelty of the evening was in fact the evening. Outside on the patio, overlooking the Seine was a Euro dance party complete with bar, mad mixing, trend setters, and flame throwers…yes thats right flame throwers..At intervals during the eveing the Burn Crew would flame throw to DJ mixes, pretty incredible.

Those attending the art show were reveling in it, the scene, the performace, the night.

As we danced the night away and the Eiffel Tower sparkled on the half hour, the students got their dance on, I sipped my rosé and I thought to myself – I knew it Mueseums can appeal to young people
