In the early afternoon, we visited Galerie Lahumiere. Around the corner was the Swedish Cultural Center, which had an exhibit of paintings by Hilma af Klint.
There was an interesting hanging sculpture in the stairwell. I don't remember if it was labeled.
From there, we went to the Centre Pompidou. By chance, we noticed the reconstruction of Brancusi's studio, housed in its own building. Along with the Monet at the Musée de l'Orangerie, this was one of our trip's highlights.
Then we went up to the 6th floor to see a special exhibition, Traces du Sacré, which included everything from Kupka to Kenneth Anger.
On the 4th floor, we started to look at the part of the permanent collection that spans the mid-20th C. to the present. The place is so huge that we only got half way through the floor.

That evening, we had dinner at Cathrine's group exhibition in a friend's studio. The artists were serving dinner every night of the one-week show with different friends showing up each night.
Lots of good food, wine, cheese and conversation.
Martine (Cathrine's friend from university), Marine (Martine's daughter-in-law to be) and Paul (Cathrine's younger son).
