La Conciergerie - Modern Art on Death Row

[fiftysixnorth]

^{Be sure to click on the image to view full screen!}

La Conciergerie in central Paris is a beautiful structure. As you enter you come into this large chamber filled with arches. Now it houses a display of modern art, though this tends to change from time to time, this is the display that was there when I visited.

But in days gone by this place housed prisoners of the french revolution. Thousands were housed here until it was their time for execution, including Marie Antoinette.

what a lovely place and horrid history. lovely photo!

[fiftysixnorth]

Thanks! Yes, a lot of European history is quite dark. So much so that there is even a children's history programme on tv in the UK called 'Horrible Histories'. Very entertaining for kids and quite informative!

What a cool place but not so sure what I think of those cages

[fiftysixnorth]

Its a very cool place, those cages are a bit weird but part of the art installation, the red bar only lines up if you look at it from a certain angle which I thought was pretty cool.

[tattoodjay]

That is cool that they have a set viewpoint to really appreciate it :)

[fiftysixnorth]

They don't I had to walk around until I found it :) but it was satisfying when I did!

[tattoodjay]

I can imagine the feeling you got when they all lined up :)

[fiftysixnorth]

It was pretty good :)
