Glass pyramids in front of Louvre in Paris gone for now

It's not magic -- but the glass pyramids in front of the Louvre are gone -- temporarily. French artist JR made over the pyramids -- hiding them behind a huge black and white pointillist picture of the museum's facade."It was the only way to really make it disappear, by playing with the architecture, from one point of view making it completely disappear from view like a magician but then also making it look different from other points of view. So people are taking photos as we're talking to each other and depending on where they stand they have totally different photo."JR's unique public art works have been displayed from the Middle East to Brazil and Shanghai.Visitors will be able to see the optical illusion titled "JR at the Louvre" through June 27.
