La Piscine, Roubaix, France
by aegiandyadAmazing shot of what looks to be a rather amazing place. Another nice shot (also by aegiandyad) here and background here.
From the photographer:
This La Piscine, a swimming pool in the Roubaix district near Lille which has been converted into an art gallery. Not much art visible here, but this is a good, if unusual view of the galleries fabulous main hall, and it still has a pool in it!
from The Hunt of the Unicorn, tapestries, 1495-1505
you can go these at the medieval museum in paris, they’re absolutely gorgeous and there’s hardly any people compared to how crowded the bigger museums get
