More of Paris... the Louvre

By Cubie - October 09, 2010

After the very long visit to the Vatican City museum, we steered clear of art galleries and museums... but it's not possible to forgo visiting the Louvre when in Paris, isn't it?

So, off we went...



One can't miss the trademark triangles.


Unlike art galleries in Malaysia, there were heaps of people visiting this one.

Inside of the triangle...



There was a spiral staircase going up, there was also an elevated platform type thingy that acts as a lift, but it was manned by a staff.

This place is so so big and I think anybody who tries to see every single hall and every exhibit will be so saturated with art :P


There are some "star" exhibits that attracts more people...

Like this one...


Aphrodite, known as the Venus de Milo

and of course, this one...


This is probably the only painting protected by a piece of glass and behind some barrier (I said probably cos we didnt explore the whole building). Can't remember how many times I zoom to get that picture it is a rather small painting.


Glad Mona Lisa was not on loan elsewhere :P


Side note: Maybe I should sleep now...
