Eating My Way Though Europe

The Louvre:

Picture
Gloomy days are perfect for the museum
Picture
If you see the famous stuff right when it opens, they're a lot less crowded
Picture
A piece of Parliament that I studied extensively in art history
Picture
Huge, scary Syrian beast that used to guard their palace
Picture
Supposedly the oldest statue ever discovered
Picture
Sections of the Louvre include Egyptian art...
Picture
...Greek and Roman sculpture...
Picture
...and famous painting upon famous painting
Picture
This was considered scandalous??
Picture
How does a sculptor turn a rock into a face full of emotion? It might as well be magic, as far as I'm concerned
Picture
The Louvre rivals Versailles in palace splendor - this is just a typical Louvre ceiling
Picture
Paintings within paintings - that's madness!
