highlights

palais des beaux arts lille

The two huge chandeliers at the entrance of the Museum of Fine Arts in Lille are designed by Gaetano Pesce.

Some technical details; Weight of each chandelier is 3600 kilograms. Total area of the glass tiles is 263 m2. Diameter of the chandelier is not less than 7 meters.

'Les Lustres' are my personal highlights of the museum.
