This is a special page showing aspects of the Louvre.
We found the winged victory
of Samothrace as the entry point to the museum.
The Louvre was built as a palace
with various kings of France adding wings and buildings. These
pictures show the palace aspect of the buildings.
One of the famed pieces is Venus
de Milo. It was quite crowded in this area of the museum.
Mona Lisa is not to be
missed and I guess nobody missed it. The crowds were too much
for me. (movie)
Much of the art is sculpture
including Greek and Roman. Some of it quite sensual.
There are many great paintings.
We didn't take enough pictures but it's difficult to do a
painting justice with a camera.
