With the end of 2009 in sight, my thoughts turned to those “best ten” lists, and judging from afar, at least, I suspect that Zaha Hadid’s new Maxxi contemporary art museum in Rome be near the the top of some of them.
That thought was confirmed when, looking for something else on YouTube, I accidently turned up a lovely short video of it from Agence France Presse. Unfortunately, AFP declines to let people embed their work, but you can see it if you click here.
And here’s another, much longer and a little shakier, but still a good look at what seems to be a beautiful building.
The New York Times also had a good slide show.
Now we wait to see what art will go into it next spring.
