European Travels
Ah, the Louvre.  Possibly the greatest art museum in the world.  If one were to stand thirty seconds in front of each individual artwork one would be there for over thirteen days.  The famous pyramid is located outside.  At one point the Louvre was a palace, until the Bourbon dynasty decided Paris wasn’t good enough for them and moved to the outskirts at Versailles.  Later, much later the Louvre was converted into the art museum it is now with three massive wings (Richelieu, Sully, Dinant) and three floors. (Ground, 1st, 2nd).  It houses the Mona Lisa, the Raft of Medusa, Liberty Leading the People, The Coronation of Napoleon, The Code of Hammurabi, The Winged Victory of Samothrace…   So many cool things and objets d’art as the French would say.  Really awesome place.
