    This Swedish insitute is a really peace-haven in the hearth of the Marais, Wish i did not write about it actually. It have this really nice located garden thats quite popular and also really open to the public with an interesting childeren-kindergarden spot where parents can play with their childeren the swedish way (with books) and also i really love the events that are here for free! Really good. Go!

    The new museum devoted to mode is here and you can enjoy some good expos. And there is a great restaurant and bar, all with splendid views of the river in this rapidly developing and changing corner of Paris. Exciting and youthful.

    We came with high expectations and were rather disappointed. Such a great artist who produced such a huge collection and here it is a very small show, few works and some very small and cleverly displayed. For me it was disappointing to see only a very small show befitting a small gallery and not a foundation such a the Gulbenkian. Yona S

    I was in Paris and randomly discovered that this exhibition was being shown in the same place where I had previously seen the one on Tutankhamun.

    I promptly reserved a very expensive and basic ticket of €24 for a time slot of 12.30 for the following day.

    As other reviewers have mentioned, it was very poorly organised and I waited outside for over 45 minutes with plenty of other people queuing to get in.

    Once inside the building there was another wait before entering the actual exhibition and it just became queue after queue.

    Unfortunately it only got worse, as it was so exceptionally busy that one had to queue up to view the items on display. I have never, ever experienced anything like this before in a paid exhibition and it was very frustrating having to queue throughout the entire time I was there.

    There were some incredible pieces on display but not everything directly related to Ramses.

    The exhibition itself was fantastic but the organisation part was extremely poor.

    It seemed to be all about making money and getting as many people in as possible, rather than allowing people to actually enjoy the exhibition.

    We were to visit the center on 15.5.19 because we had seen the billboard on the exhibition "Magic Yunnan". We walked through the exhibition rooms and at the end a master of ceremonies made us attend (there were 4 of us) before a tea ceremony and immediately after an incense ceremony. Although we were in China last year these two ceremonies were much better done because they were not aimed at the sale of products. In the end they gave us a handmade handbag with tea cakes inside. When we arrived in Switzerland we tried the tea: exceptional, it is probably tea pu'er, fermented and aged because it is delicious and can be trimmed over and over again. Thank you very much. Since the center was not present on tripadvisor we created it.

    We sat on a front table on the pavement After taking our order the waiter said we should move inside as it might rain. It didn’t look like rain but we took his advice. However it never rained and the table we left was quickly occupied. He also didn’t move any other folk sitting on this rain precarious front row.
    I could not understand. Was it we hadn’t ordered enough? It was 2 lunches and 2 drinks including champagne. However the people who sat in our outside seats only ordered coke……I became increasingly annoyed and felt that my partner and me had been singled out for some unknown reason. Maybe we didn’t meet the haute couture standards required to occupy a front row seat?
    We were short of time so didn’t feel I could formally complain though I did mention that the rain had not appeared. The waiter replied “no rain no problem”.
    It spoilt the experience and I hope the restaurant has the good grace to reply to this.

    The new Embassy/cultural centre is a beautiful, understated renovation that exudes Canadian elements in a Paris environment. The interior spaces flow very well and the curated exhibits are always interesting. We attended a documentary recognizing the anniversary of the end of WW2. Fascinating found film of the Warsaw Ghetto. The theatre is very comfortable with wonderful acoustics. The embassy has combined office space in the new building. Efficient use and combination of government services and cultural focal point. Well done, Canada.
