Museum Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence

You're standing at the Fondation Maeght, on the Gardettes hill just outside Saint-Paul-de-Vence. This isn't an ordinary museum, and that was exactly the idea. Start with the roofs. Those white, curved shapes are half-vaults that catch the sunlight and let it drift softly inside, so the art is protected from harsh light. The two big white basins on top collect rainwater for the pools, and the shade they cast keeps the galleries cool.
