Bordeaux and CAPC Contemporary Museum

If you don’t miss the steeple, the Cathedral St Andre in Bordeaux will fit into a pano! Headlines in the local paper this morning are asking “Will Bordeaux be the #1 Travel Destination again this year?”

CAPC Contemporary Museum Bordeaux in a restored “public warehouse” built 200 years ago by the city. Restored as an art space in the last 20 years, now expansive temporary exhibitions can be installed here. Only 5 artists in the permanent collection are found here and there throughout the three story edifice. Amazing use of historic space for cutting edge art. Reminds us of Mass MOCA. Haut Bailley Vineyard is the Honorary Patron.

Rooftop view of CAPC Contemporary Art Museum. The long stone path is a permanent installation by Richard Long. The art matches his name!
