Between the Pompidou Centre and the Saint Merri church lies a cool little fountain dedicated to the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. This fountain is best enjoyed in person, or on video because all the little statue things move around and spit water and the like. The art was designed by Jean Tinguely and Niki de Saint-Phalle, who were likely very odd and misunderstood people, but had really neat imaginations. This is certainly not an amazing picture, but I just had to include the lips, the treble cleff, and the swirly thing. Notice the big pipes in the back ground, the Centre is surrounded by these pipes. At night they spit out light, but during the day they just sort of sit there. I think they are perfect.
