Yesterday was really cool. Me and Fabian, a german friend, we've been to the Parc de la villette, a great modern quartier in the north-east of Paris; our destination was the "Cité de la musique", and specially the exhibition "Travelling Guitars", a journey about the history of this instrument with lot of rare exemplar and rock memorabilia.

And was a good decision: full of wonderful guitars and basses, from the renaissance till now, and specially from 60' to 90', the golden period of rock. We also assisted to a selection of rock videos (the subject was "music and revolt") in a little cinema inside, here's some photos.

In another part of the site, there was an interesting modern art installation, named "Power chords", a winner price this summer in a world contest of art. It consisted in a large room with lot of guitars and amplifiers, all of the same aspect, playing alone (with and strange mechanism) famous chords of rock music. There was a moment in wich it seemed a little concert. I felt really fascinated. The room had strange beautiful windows, one big and red and another like in a science-fiction movie.

After that, we discovered there was the visit to the "Musée de la musique de paris" included in the price! So, we were passing another hour in this huge wonderful museum, full of ancient instruments of a rare beauty, from clavicembal to Stradivarius (!)
Here's a photo of me and Fabian inside the museum, with the exciting-fashion audioguide.....

When we were out of the location, the sky was amazing. A photo was necessary. The direction, then, was Montmartre....for an italian dinner chez Fabian. The evening was nice, after Karina, Janka and Alexia joined us. The cook, of course, was the best....
