The Montmartre Graffiti Match Game

When we visited Paris in the fall of 2012, we explored the Montmartre neighborhood, where artists such as Picasso, Braque, Modigliani and others lived approximately 100 years ago. As we walked around the neighborhood, we saw a fantastic array of graffiti everywhere, so we've selected some pictures here for our match game. You can also scroll down below the game to see some of the pictures in a larger format and showing the context in which we found them.

Please note: if you're playing this on a smartphone, you will need to turn to landscape mode in order to see the full layout of memory cards.
