This was worth the visit for some quirky and amazing folk art. There is an exhibit in a dark room…read morethat had so many fabulous pieces of art, that I thought we had seen the whole museum. But wait! Up some windy stairs is a sunlit room with about the same amount of art. Some things were creepy, some were a level of obsessive detail that required long minutes of marveling, and some were inspiring. 2 hours is a sufficient visit, and you will want to reserve time to peruse the bookstore and get a snack, lunch, or beverage at the café. The museum is in the garment district, and the art may inspire you to pick up some fabric to make a collage.

We popped in for the Jeunet/Caro exhibit, because when in Paris, you Amélie. The design of the exhibit space is in a wagon wheel, with fixtures from the duos filmography segmented by "pie piece." An intriguing blend of movie props, original script notes, stills and videography paint a brilliant behind-the-scenes for The City of Lost Children, Delicatessen, MicMacs, Alien: Resurrection and more. A floor up, sunlight floods a year-long showcase residency called Turbulence in the Balkans, featuring Eastern European works but unfortunately, no brass bands. Sad dance party loss. Anyhoodle, the space open, well-designed and easy to get through in an hour or so. If the exhibits catch your fancy, pop in for an afternoon delight.

It's definitely VERY cozy inside, so best to watch out as you turn around in close quarters - especially if carrying a backpack or shoulder bag! The cellar is very cool, too and lots of books out on the sidewalk for anyone who doesn't appreciate the tight fit inside. ; ) As a former bookstore worker, this was a little slice of heaven for me - I had to be dragged out LOL

That's what I was doing here, anyhow. I was thrilled to see that they have all the weird European magazines that I always long for overseas, and have to resort to reading a digital version. They had Le Monde, the Parisian view of the world news. They proudly carry Charlie Hebdo, the controversial newspaper. They have the comics of Asterix, the Belgian viking. The prices on everything was pretty marked up. They had some souvenirs of Paris, and a special tricky section where it's "Half off!*" (*The second item when you buy two.) The clerks were typically aloof. They sold old looking sandwiches and incredibly marked up sodas. I skipped out on the food. There are better options in the terminal.
