Christo and Jeanne-Claude's wrapped Arc de Triomphe nears completion in Paris

The first photos of l'Arc de Triomphe Wrapped installation by late artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude have been revealed days before its official opening in Paris.
The 49.5-metre-tall Arc de Triomphe monument has been covered by 25,000 square metres of silvery fabric, secured by 3,000 metres of contrasting red rope.
It fulfils the "life-long dream" of partners Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who were best known for wrapping famous buildings around the world, following Christo's death in 2020.
