With its refreshing and sunny
architecture, designed by French architect Christian de Portzamparc, the recent Cité de
la Musique in Paris is more a concert hall than a museum!
Equipped with infrared
headphones, the visitor walks across the rooms and listens to classical music played by
the same beautiful old instruments he sees in front of him.
A spendid idea to bring alive the French national collection
of music instruments and a rare moment of harmony. In addition to the museum, the Cité de
la Musique includes a concert hall and the French national conservatory of music.
