Today we decided to conquer one of the great, if not greatest, museums of the world. The almighty Louvre. We had walked past it countless times and its daunting size is reminiscent of Buckingham palace. As we walked past I.M. Pei's controversial pyramid, made infamous by the Da Vinci Code, we were happy to encounter very short lines with no wait to enter (thank you Museum Pass). Within a single room we viewed almost every renaissance painting known to those who acquire their lacklustre art knowledge through movies. The museum itself is a piece of art with ornate frescoes adorning many ceilings. You can spend a lifetime in the Louvre but we limited it to a few hours. Stay tuned for some photos.
