I couldn't label the last few images because they didn't appear on the browser page. Image 18: Woman with a Hat by Picasso (iron sheet), Image 19: Lion and Antelope by Henri Rousseau. Image 21: Museum with Water Lily Pond.
A new exhibition building is currently being built, so the surrounding park is partially under construction.
