Meet the New Ceiling at the Louvre

The new ceiling artwork installed in the Salle des Bronzes of the Louvre finally opened up o the public today. The result is amazingly simple in concept, and yet very inspiring in the color tones, that really set off the once dull gray ceiling of this monumental room.
One also becomes aware of the full size of the room after watching the photo diaporama on the evolution of Cy Twombly's latest brainchild. Who will be next to exercise his artistic talents inside the hollowed halls of the Louvre?

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
