La Monnaie--Reflections

This is one of several multi-paneled reflecting doors (? I think) in a large, ornate anteroom on the first floor of the La Monnaie de Paris--the Paris Mint.

It's a large building from the eighteen century--the period of Louis 15th, whose bust is reflected in one of the panels.

I'm always intrigued by reflections (no surprise to many of you), especially multiple ones.

The building serves multiple functions, including a permanent museum related to coins, jewelry, etc. (currently under renovation). It also includes an exhibition space, where we saw a show of photos from the archives of Paris Match entitled "Peur sur la Ville"--Fear over the City--images of violence in Paris, real and imagined.
