Museum of Anthropology, the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, by Arthur Erickson

The Museum was founded in 1947 when the various items in UBC's ethnographic collection were put on display in the basement of the Main Library. Dr Harry Hawthorn served as the first director of the new Museum, with his wife, Dr Audrey Hawthorn, serving as its first curator. In 1971 the Museum received funds from the Government of Canada and UBC to begin construction of a new building. In 1976, the new building, designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, opened under new director Michael Ames, who served from 1974 to 1997. Walter and Marianne Koerner's 1975 donation of their extensive collection of Northwest Coast First Nations art to the Museum formed a large part of the new building's contents. In 1997 Dr. Ruth Phillips became museum director. In 2002 Dr. Michael Ames returned as acting director. Dr. Anthony Shelton became director in 2004. Arthur Erickson's building was inspired by the post-and-beam architecture of northern Northwest Coast First Nations people. Like much of Erickson's work, the building is made primarily out of concrete.

Musée du Jeu de Paume, Paris, by Antoine Stinco

At the northeast corner of the Tuileries Gardens in Paris, to the left of the Place de la Concorde entrance, is the Jeu de Paume, originally a court for a game similar to tennis known as the jeu de paume (from paume, "palm", with which the ball was struck). The Jeu de Paume was built in 1851, under the Second Empire, but was considerably altered in 1931. Until 1986 the Jeu de Paume housed the Louvre's world-famous collection of Impressionists, now displayed in the Musée d'Orsay. After being remodelled by Antoine Stinco the Galerie National du Jeu de Paume reopened in June 1991. Its 2,000sq.m/21,500sq.ft of exhibition space, on two floors, now house periodic special exhibitions of contemporary art.
