Le Kiosque des noctambules, Art installation at Place Colette, Paris, France
The entrance to Palais Royal-Musée du Louvre metro station features two glass domes made of Venetian glass beads and aluminum structures.
Jean-Michel Othoniel created this installation in 2000 to commemorate the centennial celebration of the Paris Metro transportation system.
The two domes represent day and night through warm-toned and cool-toned Murano glass spheres, connecting art with public transportation.
The installation includes aluminum benches along its sides and provides wheelchair accessibility through the metro station entrance.
Glass figurines crown each dome while two display cases embedded in the metro walls showcase colored glass pearls matching the exterior.
