The building steals the show at this new Fondation Cartier outpost. Jean Nouvel's glass-arched "viewing machine" lets you peek at artworks from the street, while modular platforms and exposed machinery make the 6,500 mÂČ space feel like a living experiment. Even art skeptics might come for the architecture and stay for the cafĂ©.
