Norman Foster's Nîmes Museum Mirrors Roman Temple

In Nîmes, a new museum designed by Norman Foster has opened opposite the Maison Carrée, a Roman temple. The project was initiated by mayor Jean Bousquet, who has pursued a series of grand architectural projects since 1983. The museum is paired with the Séguier library, transformed into a modern media library. Foster's building serves as a contemporary double of the classical temple, reflecting its form.
