quai branly museum garden, Paris, France

Designed by Jean Nouvel, the museum architecture itself is remarkable.

After the bugcrew left Paris we were horrified to discover that the Branly hosts a remarkable live and growing wall in the garden, and we missed it. Sh**! We just love living walls. Photos welcome!
