After the opening ceremony at the hotel, we were brought by buses to the Centre Georges Pompidou.
Imagine ferrying 1,200 women plus committee officers and members? Agawan pagsakay sa bus.
Ladies from Spain with their beautiful Manila shawls.
Other delegates pose with her because of her unique national costume.
There’s a young receptionist in the bus, explaining something. Ewan, basta alam ko for sure they would bring us to dinner.
The center was named after French President Georges Pompidou, who commissioned this building during his term (1969-1974) although the building was finished in 1977.

The place has a good panoramic view of Paris
1,200 Women = chaos
Welcome remarks by
Hon. Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, Minister of Women, Cities, Youth and Sports.
She can speak English but her speech was in French.
I moved away from the crowd to enjoy the art.

Apparently, this museum has the largest collection of modern art in Europe.
The Pompidou Art Center has about a dozen original Henry Matisse works. That reminded me of a book I bought years ago about Henry Matisse, tila nawala na.

and the view
I wonder what inspired the artist to make this couple.
The size of his birdie is not proportionate to his body. Malaki ang dibdib. According to Mrs. Sison, his birdie is too small for his body frame. Ganyan talaga, all body sculptures must not overemphasize the birds kasi malaswa. People would just focus on that part and that part alone.
