Parisian Cloudburst Strikes the Louvre / A Lesson in Diversity

Buckets and Buckets of Rain

It had rained much of the night in Paris.
One might call it a dark and stormy night.

The Louvre night watchman who patrols
the Grand Galerie of French Painting
as well as the very elongated
Italian Gallery noticed the rain pouring in,
fortunately only in the Italian area.

That night guard did what could be done
with available resources, scrounged from lavatories and closets.

Personally, I find this ad-hoc, jerry-rigged, miss-matched arangement
of water-catchers an interesting installation,
one that could remain on display in a contemporary Art museum,
not the Louvre.

No two buckets are alike.

Yet together they prevented a flood!

Diversity Prevails.
