The Louvre Museum

Entrance to the Louvre through the glass pyramid

Perennial crowd around the Monalisa. The Monalisa painting is small in comparison to the other paintings in the museum

One of the rooms displaying paintings of the 16th and 17th century. The painting section is exhaustive. Some paintings, I thought, were as good as, if not better, than the Monalisa.

  1. thanks for the pictures. I also liked the Louvre but it seems to bog you down. Don't think its humanly possible to cover it in entirity.

  2. Wow! the louvre is fascinating. I would love to visit it. What you write seems to be true. The Eiffel and the Louvre are the only two things in Paris. Rest all can be best avoided. But I am no great fan of the French people and their country. Its so so...
