Bordeaux has many fine museums, but most of them are closed on Monday. Fortunately, two of the most interesting were open.
La Cité du Vin: An eight story, very modern, museum about wine, from all over the world and throughout history. This photo is of a panoramic image of a hillside vineyard, backed by the interior ribs of the building, which perhaps are meant to symbolize barrel staves.
Musée des Beaux Arts: The courtyard between the ancient and modern (nothing much beyond 1900, however) buildings was filled with a series of large portraits (landscapes on the other sides) with doorway-size holes cut in each for a walkway. Very well done, to striking effect.
