All
welcome to one of the best museums in the world!
The Louvre Paris
The museum courtyard
with funky looking glass pyramids
no apple store down there!
The Louvre Carrousel Garden in the distance
the queues are ultra long!
Lets use a fast track!
the west entrances are usually empty
which brings us across...
the main circle road
into the Carrousel Gardens
snow covered gardens to begin with
statues included!
the west entrances, look for the lions
tada!
Instant entry with no queues!
4 floors of arty museumy goodness
big vase is big
look at the crowds
to see one of Leonardo da Vinci's...
greatest paintings
The Mona Lisa
seriously I have no idea why it's so popular
move on guys!
Got Mona?
Mona Lisa ain't the only great painting here
the place is huge
did I say HUGE?
look at roof!
The painting galleries
The Gericault (aka The Raft of the Medusa)
Love the spacious galleries
given how large some of the paintings are!
Large stair wells connects the galleries
The Winged Victory...
of Samothrace
they ain't talking!
few of the many elaborate galleries
with lots of nudity to boot
Wall murals
Busts
awesome ceiling works
it's just like in Florence!
The gallery runs along many connecting galleries
which are intuitive to follow on the musem map
despite the size of the museum
The sculpture hallway
Pottery on display
