Given that the Louvre Museum is the biggest art collection in the world (I haven’t verified this, but let’s assume it’s true), if you end up in Paris this is definitely a MUST SEE!



Here are some pics of the entrance and then some of the hallways inside.



The famous Venus de Milo in the first pic. There were numerous beautiful ceilings with very intricate artwork; here’s one of them in the second. Lastly, once we were somewhere on the second floor I was able to get a good picture of the Louvre’s exterior entrance.



Pictures of the Louvre in the oldern days and some Egyptian art.



I love sculptures, so this area was my favorite. I suppose I like the 3 dimensional aspect of sculptures and the fact that I think it would be much harder to sculpt than to paint (perhaps and art major can correct me on that). I loved the huge open space (see the size of the people in the last pic relative to the room) and natural light that was coming in. My future house will hopefully look like this.



Here are some pictures of Napoleon’s apartment. Again, note the ceiling in the chandelier picture. Then we’ve got the living room and dining room. Pretty cool!
In case you’re wondering why there isn’t a picture of the famous Mona Lisa, it’s because security is pretty tight around the painting and they seemed pretty strict about taking pictures. I couldn’t be bothered. In fact, the Mona Lisa was surprisingly small compared to what I was expecting! Lastly, for those of you who read The Da Vinci Code, I had to get a picture with the inverted pyramid as this is where the Holy Grail is buried!
