welcome to one of the best museums in the world!
Just across the Palais Royal
The Louvre Paris
no apple store down there!
The museum courtyard
The Louvre Carrousel Garden in the distance
Lets use a fast track!
with funky looking glass pyramids
the queues are ultra long!
the west entrances are usually empty
which brings us across...
the main circle road
statues included!
into the Carrousel Gardens
snow covered gardens to begin with
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...
Got Mona?
The Mona Lisa

greatest paintings

Mona Lisa ain't the only great painting here
the place is huge
did I say HUGE?
look at roof!
The Gericault (aka The Raft of the Medusa)
Love the spacious galleries
The painting galleries
given how large some of the paintings are!
Large stair wells connects the galleries
The Winged Victory...
of Samothrace
The sculpture hallway
they ain't talking!
with lots of nudity to boot
few of the many elaborate galleries
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
