Versailles Exhibition

Monday, November 30, 2009

One of my neighbors just visited the new exhibition at Versailles and sent me this (and his photo): "The talented French artist Xavier Veilham is current showing work at the Chateau de Versailles, its gardens and the main courtyards. Even if you've been to the Chateau before, it's worth going to see this interesting juxtaposition of contemporary art within the context of the famous Chateau."

The show runs through December 13, 2009, for more information: http://en.chateauversailles.fr
