The Louvre Museum in Paris

The Louvre museum in Paris is one of the most popular museums in the world and in my opinion probably one of the most beautiful. The buildings seem to go on forever and the exhibits, paintings and murals are extensive and beautiful. We only went to a small area of the museum, our tired feet wouldn't allow us to continue very far but I doubt you can see the entire museum in one and maybe not even two visits.

If you plan to visit this museum then put on your waking shoes and be prepared to stay awhile.

One of my favorite things about the museum was the actual building itself. I don't think I could ever get tired of looking at it.

And a day at the Louvre wouldn't be complete without seeing the most famous painting in the world, the Mona Lisa. It was very difficult to get close to the painting, people were shoving and pushing their way to the front, and to get a glimpse you have to be aggressive. I'm not particularly impressed with this painting but with all the people waiting to catch a glimpse of it and get a photo you don't even have time to browse and admire the art work at your own pace.

The art on the ceiling was what caught my eye the most, it was beautiful!

And the famous Venus de milo statue
