The building is designed by Frank Gehry, one of the world's greatest living architects. It is fabulous. We were there to see the David Hockney exhibit-close to 400 pieces in all. The scope of his work is amazing. I especially liked the giant pictures he painted of a class (I presume), with a giant mirror behind them so you saw about 20 people front and back in one giant painting in different poses. HOW did he do that? The tour guide,Linda, told us great stories about the history of the park and how it originated. Also, she had the patience of Job when helping us oldsters download our information on our phones to get into the museum. The only downers were that they needed a ton more toilets (don't know if they have ever had an exhibition this large and popular). Also, I was told by staff that the gift shop would ship purchases back to the US, and then after waiting in line for 30 minutes. the cashiers told me that they would not ship items to the US.. Thank goodness the hotel we are staying in was able to get our items shipped for us, we won't talk about shipping charges.

Gehry's glass "sails”

Designed by architect Frank Gehry, the cloud-like structure of the Fondation, is composed of thousands of curved glass panels. These 'sails' create a sense of movement and transparency, blurring the lines between interior and exterior. Explore how natural light transforms the galleries, and photograph the interplay of glass, light, and architecture.

Inside, you can see how light and shadows play, and peek at other galleries and outside views.
