Leading Aboriginal artist, Lena Nyadbi, was asked to create a piece to be put on the rooftop of Paris Muesem, Musée du quai Branly. Lena Nyadbi is a contemporary artist in Western Australia who created a black-and-white painting called Dayiwul Lirlmim. She says it was inspired by her mother's homeland. The reproduction will be put on the 700-square-meter rooftop terrace, and with a satellite, will be able to be seen from space. The project is in progress and is planned to be revealed on June 8. The muesem is dedicated to displaying the arts and cultures from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas. It will also be able to be seen by those who visit the Eiffel Tower every year.
I think it is wonderful to have foreign art displayed in countries around the world. It really does allow people to see the beauty of other places in their own homelands.
