The Roubaix MuseumI's dificult to imagine a swimming pool becoming a museum,isn't it? Well,that is exactly what happened in the small French town of Roubaix.The beautiful building was first built in 1927 and was used as a swimming pool until 1985.People then decided to reopen the building as an art gallery.Since then, people have restored the original designs carefully.The building has been full of fantastic collections of paintings,sculptures and textiles.But the best thing about the new museum is he room with the swimming pool.The pool is much smaller and you can't swim in it now,but it is really amazing.There are statues all around it.The sun shines though the beautifully restored windows into the gallery and it all looks spectacular.The museum is still called La Piscine—that’s French for"swimming pool"!
