Critic reviews

"I'm learning all sorts of stuff about stuff I didn't even know I didn't know. And it sticks. In a nutshell: wonderful." (Jonathon Margolis, Financial Times)

Most relevant

As a structual engineer, I love this monument. I love even more learning how it was hated in its beginning and how this ugly duckling, according to some, turned into not only a beautiful swan, but a revenue producing golden goose (cash cow) as well. Never planned to be the symbol of France! Talking about Mr. Eiffel 🗼getting the last laugh!! 🤣🗼😂🗼🙄🗼😏🗼😁
