Many exhibitions visited this year - some part of the INP, but most not - success stories and discoveries as well ... The five favorite shows I in 2009 (sorry, I could not limit myself to three as last year, the choice is extremely difficult): Emil Nolde (discovery-shock from an artist that I did not know at all), the first altar (we never change that you want) Alphons Mucha (exposure to both sumptuous and successful), Soulages (as of emotion), the legend of King Arthur (I really liked the staging and the effort made to convey an impressive amount of information in a digestible, however).
The three biggest misfires (and here I limit myself to 3): The art of empty-Picasso Cezanne, Teotihuacan (but I think that having visited the site a few weeks ago real me does not have an incentive to indulgence).

Blow of heart for the Fabre museum I had seen before its renovation, and I rediscovered this summer. Stroke heart as for the castle of the Dukes of Brittany, despite all the controversy over its renovation, I found that this was a great success.
NB: Missing Italian museums I visited in Umbria, then this book has remained in France, update upon my return ...
