UNESCO art exhibit

[greyghost1]

In 2005 I went into UNESCO to see the art exhibit with works by Miro, Calder, Picasso, and Corbusier and other artists. And the splendid peaceful Japanese garden and Fountain of Peace by Isamu Noguchi and the Nagasaki Angel, a fragment of the church of Urakami in Japan which was destroyed by the atomic bomb on 9 August 1945. This last gave me goose bumps it was so moving.
I have been googling it and I can't find any references to the art exhibit. Is it still there, does anyone know?
At the time I didn't have reservations-didn't know one needed them- and had to argue for almost an hour until the lady took my passport and let me through security.
If it's still there it is well worth a visit.

I didn't realize this is a more or less permanent exhibit - thanks for posting!

Darcy, the UNESCO building is in the 7th at 7 Place de Fountenoy
Here's a link to a virtual walk thru the artwork:

Thanks, Annette!

Annette, it was so nice seeing the pieces again! But they are much more moving and awesome in 'person' especially the Japenese garden, which is in a walled courtyard and the Nagasaki Angel. The pictures make the pieces look so small and in fact some are huge. I repeat, it is well worth a visit in person.

Added to my list too! Darcy we can go together if you like.

I just spotted this thread, we walked past the UNESCO building almost every day. There are lots of art pictures hanging to the railings as you walk by, many beautifully constructed images of people around the world.
