What a treat, Htmb. The shots of Metz are lovely, but the art work -- just beautifully photographed and presented. Thank you so much for this.

One thing that is interesting about the Pompidou Metz is that it does not have its own permanent collection. Its 3 galleries rotate works from the Pompidou Paris, the Orsay and a number of other museums.

Yes, that's one of the reasons I made sure to put the date in the thread title. Much of what I saw in 2010 may already be rotated out.

My report also dates from 2010, but we didn't photograph the same things! (luckily!)

Yes, my grandparents' village is about 25km from Metz so it was the local 'big city' to go to.

It's a fascinating part of France for me, but when I first started researching the trip I failed to find much information in American guidebooks.

That does not surprise me at all.

Kerouac, do you know anything about Temple Neuf?

I know it mostly from the postcards of Metz. There is a wiki about it, but it is only available in French and German.
