| The entrance to the Petit Palais (Source: photos-libres) |
Just remembered that in the dark days before I started blogging regularly, I went to visit the Reporters sans frontieres exhibition at the Petit Palais.
This is a quick blog post to say that it's well worth a look. The Palais is just off the Champs-Elysees (metro Champs-Elysees-Clemenceau). It's free to get into the Palais.
It took us a while to find the exhibition, but it was a happy wander past art spanning thousands of years, from ancient Greek pottery to paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries.
The exhibition is 100 photos courtesy of Pierre and Alexandra Boulat. They were photojournalists who cover a range of topics in their work, from the victims of conflict in Afghanistan and Iraq to a rural wedding in provincial France. I'm the furthest thing from a fashion guru but even I recognised some shots of the late designer Yves Saint Laurent.
I won't say any more, but it's definitely an hour or two well spent.
