As expected the Tiger Lillies were brilliant tonight! The new show in on until April 26tg so you will have to be quick to see them.



Pay them a visit here if you want to know more :)

Now back to Paris and my favourite place, the Musee Guimet, the biggest Asian art museum in Europe, a place where I have quite a few years of my studying so you will forgive me for getting too much into details...



                         This is only the entrance so don't get excited yet!

The Library:

There are also masterpieces from China, Japan, Afghanistan-Pakistan, Himalaya, Central Asia, Korea and more... Definitely worth a visit and if you don't master teleportation quite yet or have ran out of floo powder, click here for a virtual visit!
