The Louvre Pyramid is celebrating 20 years already.
To celebrate this event, the cour Napoléon will be lit every evening until April 10 by a light installation by Jenny Holzer entitled "Xenon for Paris" (initially created for the 2001 Paris Autumn Festival). Holzer has been doing these large scale projections since the late 1970s in New York.
So come down to the Louvre tonight and share a moment of nocturnal Paris magic.

Thanks for the photos, Cedric. I cannot believe it's been 20 years already. I once watched as I.M. Pei was interviewed by French T.V. at the inverted small pyramid inside the Louvre, near the underground shops. He leaned over and placed his hand under the pyramid's point, posing as if he were supporting its weight with one hand. I was touched by his unexpected humor.
lovely louvre pyramid is still good after twenty years. how long.
喜欢你的照片，谢谢。
喜欢那种第一次夜晚近距离接触玻璃金字塔的感觉。
