i really liked bernard tschumi's design -- it's full of light and air and provides an intelligent background for the treasures it holds.
you can find a great description of the building here but one thing it does not mention is a wonderful glass floor that unifies the wide ramp area on the ground floor at a central atrium with the top level and the sky beyond.

it really was a fun place to stop and look above, while the visitors above were taking pictures of us below -- and some were taking the opportunity to catch some exercise.
if you plan to visit the building, and you value your privacy, i have some advice: don't wear a skirt.
