GB: Paris Day Five: Louvre: Photo Set 3





Here's a nice view of the courtyard from inside the museum. It was windy out today, and you can see the wind blowing the water in the fountain.

This next picture is a snapshot of a ceiling in one of the rooms. I actually thought that the ceilings in most of the rooms were cooler than the art in them. Very three dimensional and many different styles room to room.

There was a smaller cattle herd to get to the Venus de Milo, but the crowd was small. I was disappointed that the gift shop didn't sell a gummy Venus de Milo, and also that no one at the gift shop watched The Simpsons.

We wandered around the Louvre for a while and found a cool medieval section in the basement that had a model of what the building looked like around 1100AD and had stones from the original structure. It would've been cool to learn more about all the medieval stuff, but only about half the signs in the Louvre are in English and none of the things we wanted to know more about were in that half.
