Art on-the-go, courtesy of Paris airport

Fancy a slice of art in between flights? Culture vultures now have a chance to satisfy their on-the-go urges with a new museum in the heart of France’s largest airport, showcasing collections from top art institutions.

Meant as a “window” onto the capital’s main museums, the exhibition space unveiled Tuesday at Charles de Gaulle international airport will allow passengers “to get to know Paris’ rich cultural offering better,” said Pascal Bourgue, marketing and services director at Aeroports de Paris.

Open between the first flight of the day and the last, and offering free entry to all passengers transiting through terminal 2E, the “Museum Space” as it has been dubbed is set to display original works, on loan from Parisian museums, he said. Nestled between the waiting lounges and boutiques, the space designed by architects Willmotte Pere et Fils blends wood, glass and steel in its decor.

The 250-square-metre (2,700 feet) area targets long-haul international passengers, many of them bound for Asia. For its inaugural six-month exhibition, organisers reached out to the Rodin Museum which loaned some 50 works by the 19th-century sculptor, including “The Thinker” and “The Kiss”.
