Legoland showes at least genuine creativity and some engeneering too.

I’m not an art critic but this one is really insane. And all those people who even paid to take a look.
I’ve more respect for the supermarket worker who makes pyramids with canned fruit.

I can imagine all those boxes are movable as you don’t stick thousands to each other. If you can move or hit a box (I see a child running through the labyrinth), the “piece of art” is altered; - who cares - says the artist – as long as you believe this is art.

Cheap, very cheap. BTW and without discrimination, the artist is a lady :wink:

So... Nobody Knows... If Rayman you know, you can say it...
Here is a little clue: This museum is in an old building, which was redesigned by swiss architects a few years ago.

seems to be a tough question unless you haven't been there ... A museum I know designed by a swiss architect is the SFMOMA by Mario Botta. But he designed the building from gound up new - even the museum existed before. And as far as I know, only one day in a month is for free.

I think Rayman knows the answer, but doesn't want to give it !!! hhehehe

The name of the architects are Herzog and de Meuron i think.... and this museum has a huge chimney

I think I got it:

It's Tate Modern next to St Paul's Cathedral in...... London.

Correct?

well, that's also hard. Clearly from the shape of the towers it could be French (because of the flat top), also the house in the back shows French style of a facade ...

I think it is Lyon, and the building shown is the "Fourvière veille sur Lyon" -

is that right?

if this is correct this would be fun, because I have spent New Year's Eve in 2001 there and with a great view to Lyon.

well, the first guess was just luck, because a friend of mine used to live in Lyon and I have visited him a couple of times.

anyway, I am pleased to present ... my picture! shouldn't be too hard because it shows pretty much of the city:

so, please luchtzakers, submit your guesses! :-D

PS. if you happen to live in this city please resist! :-)

now since you have mentioned: there is something similar to Berlin: looks like the forum hotel and in front maybe like alexanderplatz ... but no, I am sorry but it is not Berlin. but I can give a hint: it is a capital as well!
