Palace of Versailles - You Have to Experience It!

Jeff Koons at Versailles

Jeff Koons Sculpture Near Front Entrance
During our one day visit to Versailles in October, 2008 there was an exhibit by Jeff Koons with a number of contemporary "balloon type" art which was both outside and inside the palace. As I start to build my Versailles pages you will see a number of these sculptures scattered throughout.

From the reviews I read people either loved or hated the exhibit. The most interesting review I read though said that Louis XIV would have enjoyed the vision that Jeff Koons had and after visiting the palace with all its grandeur I think I would agree.
