4èME ARRONDISSEMENT. This modern building ­ with its color-coded mechanical systems highly visible on the exterior ­ has architects debating its merits and tourists enamored of its style and contents. Displays highlight the development of Parisian art from the 18th century to the present and include works by Matisse, Chagall, and Picasso. Located onsite, too, are the National Museum of Modern Art, the Center of Industrial Design, the Contemporary Music Institute, a Library, the Brancusi Studio, and the Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles. Shows, exhibitions, and rotating exhibits are also available. METRO: Rambuteau, Hôtel de Ville, Châtelet
