I think Jeff Koons' "Balloon Dog" works at least as well in the Palace of Versailles as I.M. Pei's Louvre Pyramid, but not everyone agrees with me. The National Union of Writers of France, a group devoted to "artistic purity," is protesting.
Maybe they should call in the ultimate "decider" of what belongs in a public museum: Rudy.

Put the dog on top of the pyramid.
There is an argument for the pyramid, which is
that the Louvre itself is right next to
Place de Pyramides (forgive spelling if wrong).
But there is no Place de Chien--or wasn't the last time I was there.
