My next trip to Paris

Booked! A weekend to Paris in November. No boyfriend, no travel mate, but two lovely young ladies to visit: Magali & Roxanne. In plan, champagne&French fois (but no gras!), Xmas shopping in Les Marais, Parisienne night life, and the following two exhibitions:

L'exposition Dada au Centre Pompidou. L'exposition a pour ambition de montrer ce que fut l'un des mouvements artistiques internationaux les plus marquants du XXème siècle qui a influencé de nombreux courants artistiques contemporains. C'est la première grande exposition organisée en France depuis l'exposition présentée au Musée national d'art moderne en 1966.


For the first time in Paris, at the Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, a major large-scale exhibition bringing together four major Viennese painters of the 19th and 20th centuries: Klimt, Schiele, Moser, Kokoschka: Vienna 1900

[I had an Austrian professor at university who exposed me to the Austrian visual art (especially Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka) and modern literature (e.g. Ingeborg Bachmann, Marlen Haushofer, Peter Handke, Thoms Bernhard, Elfriede Jelinek, etc.). So, when I was in Vienna (I have stayed there for one month on a scholarship in July 2001), I visited the uber-kool new MuseumsQuartier, but, at the time, the Klimt-Schiele-Kokoschka section was not inaugurated yet. Gutted.]
