I was curious to visit a new addition to the Museum, the new department dedicated to Islamic Arts covering 3000 sq m of new exhibition space (2012)
Islamic Arts Department

| Modern Structure in Mesh holding the Islamic Arts New Section in Le Louvres Museum - Note that it looks like open space structure, rendering nomadism, tent structure. |

| Islamic World Display |
 |
| Many Scriptures, and when they became too flowery, they were replaced |

Our guide explained that this meant « La magnanimtté est au début d'un goût amer, mais fini par être plus douce que le miel » (819-1005) (Magnanimity may leave a bitter taste at first, but becomes as sweet as honey after a while). Aristotle influence and also mildly inspired by Chinese culture (see Ying Yang sign in the centre of the plate) |

Water distributor if I understood well
We were reminded that Islamic arts display do not involve the figuration of people or animals ONLY ON RELIGIOUS ARTEFACTS |
 |
| La Grande Mosquée de Paris (5th dist) nearby and recommended by a friend living nearby - this is where my decision to go to Le Louvres started |
I also visited the Raymond Depardon Coloured Photographies Exhibition recommended by a friend and I re-visited the Renaissance & Dreams Exhibition in Musée du Luxembourg with my daughter to share it with her.
