À la recherche du musée perdu

For a long time now the location of Marcel Broodthaers' original Musée d'Art Moderne, Département Des Aigles has been shrouded in a thick mist when one tries to look it up via Google Street View.





I decided to go and check out the mystery of this very local fog.
To my (pleasant) astonishment there was a construction site at the location and the building firm that is erecting there is called Eaglestone! (You can't make this stuff up...;-))

I just had to put some egg-shaped stickers on those fences surrounding the site...





Ô, ironie, drôle château des oiseaux moqueurs.
