If you'd walk by the
Grand Palais today (a huge exhibition hall originally built for the Paris Exhibition of 1900) you'd see something pretty unusual: a huge turtle made of bronze (it weights no less than... 5 tons!). The little man on the turtle is... a self-portrait
Jan Fabre, the Belgian artist who actually made this masterpiece (called "
Searching for Utopia"). BTW, the reason why this turtle sits outside the museum is that the Grand Palais is going to host
ArtParis, a pretty famous modern art exhibition.
