GB: Paris Day Five: Louvre: Photo Set 4







We spent most of our time in the Egyptian section of the museum. Half because we're both interested in ancient Egypt and a slightly larger half because we couldn't find our way out of it.

In another room there were some cool statues of cat-men. Here is a shot of some sarcophagi that looked pretty cool.

There was a wall that had some weird mummies in it. You can see lots of cats in this shot. There were also birds and if you look at the bottom a mummified crocodile. The photo is a little fuzzy, but those are fish sarcophagi.

Here's another ceiling where the room had some black and brown Greek pots and the ceiling had carvings of golden armor in it. Then a cool shot looking down the arches of a long hallway at all the rooms. Note how few people are in the hallway. This is how crowded the rest of the Louvre was compared to on the way to/in front of the Mona Lisa.
