Musée de Grenoble

You're standing at the Musée de Grenoble, right on the bank of the Isère. First, look at the two giant steel sculptures on the square in front of the entrance. The taller one is Polar Star by Mark di Suvero, a full twenty-three metres high. Next to it stands Monsieur Loyal by Alexander Calder, nine metres of painted steel. That tells you straight away that modern art matters here.
