you cross the river and take a funicular up a hill and stumble upon 2 massive roman amphitheaters.. then jutting out the side of a hill is this bond-like brutalist semi-subterranean fortress housing the most thoughtful roman museum on an authentic, underrated roman city…worth your time…a magical experience

A lot of Rodin's work wasn't allowed out of France by the government so you gotta see it there. And it's both an estate and a sculpture garden that's in the middle of the city.

The less you know the better… but this mind-blowing Marais district institution implicitly reconstructs the proto-museum “Wunderkammer”/“cabinet of curiosities” experience, directly integrating rotating exhibitions of contemporary art within an itself-delirious blend of portraits, installations, taxidermy, weaponry, and artifacts of ambiguous veracity. The visitor is thus transported into a hybrid and chimerical world that, like its covert cousin (The Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles), ultimately raises questions about the very purpose of museums — whether for natural science, technology, *or* for art — in a secular society.

Not a true rooftop but a great view of the city and a fantastic museum. I got to see an Art Spiegelman exhibition with a lot of the original drawings from Maus and the city beautifully wrapped in a soft fog.

for some reason there’s an embarrassment around starting from scratch + opening oneself up to learning the basics esp if you feel “behind”. trying to release from that in playwriting and the result has been great. taste and gut are still paramount but growing the toolbox is so fruitful
