The Vibe:Contemporary art under a domed rotunda
The city's old grain exchange, a domed rotunda by Les Halles, now shows the Pinault contemporary-art collection. Tadao Ando lined it with a concrete cylinder inside.
Daylight drops through the glass dome onto Ando's smooth grey cylinder. Contemporary works fill the ring of galleries around it.
