After more than two years of reconstruction, a former funeral parlor in the 19th arrondissement of Paris reopened in its new incarnation as the city's newest modern arts center christened "104" (Centquatre)...
A creation of architects Robert Cantarella and Frédéric Fisbach, the center, at 104 rue d'Aubervilliers was green-lighted by Paris mayor
Bertrand Delanoë
in 2005. More than two years and 100M euros later, Centquatre opened to the public in October.
