Paris is not just about the old sites, museums

An impressive, two-wing structure given over to temporary exhibits of far-out art (including a great deal of video art), it has been in existence, as best I know, for no more than a decade (the east wing, a separate Museum of Modern Art, is older), and generally has been overlooked by the many travel writers who have penned guidebooks to Paris. But it deserves greater attention.
