It is not well known that a baroque pyramid was proposed for the centennial celebrations of the 1789 French Revolution. It is possible that the architect I.M. Pei was aware of these designs when he chose a pyramid form, for the bicentennial celebrations of 1989. There are actually several pyramids including the famous inverted pyramid. Contrary to belief the entrance pyramid does not have 666 glass panels.

The Great Pyramids are located at Egypt, but there are also pyramid-like buildings in South America.

I believe it was a gift from a Japanese architect. I agree, it doesn't fit in with the architecture.
