Shadow Shot Sunday 194 - Marseille


Where can you find this rather lovely pattern of shadows in Marseille??


Well, it is the fantastic new Museum of Civilisations from Europe and the Mediterranean (MUCEM) designed by Algerian-born French architect Rudy Ricciotti and opened in June as part of the celebrations for Marseille's year as one of the European Capital of Culture 2013...


It is this "veil" covering the whole exterior of the building which creates these amazingly intricate shadow patterns. Marseille is my favourite place in France - Don't hesitate to visit if you get the chance...

OMG! This is amazing! Feeling rather envious as there is nothing like it here in my neck of the woods.

Really nice reflection and an interesting "article" !

Very cool patterns! It feels like a stained glass window minus the glass...or perhaps a jigsaw puzzle assembled (sort of :). What it does is convince us to explore, to see where the puzzle of a facade will lead the visitor. Fabulous post!
