The Louvre

The amount of art and history on display at the Louvre is staggering and breath-taking. This is largest museum I have ever visited with countless visitors filling the exhibit rooms, halls, and corridors. All I could do was to try and take it all in with my eyes. The densely packed crowd in front of the Mona Lisa created a sense frenzy with everyone pushing forward to get a closer look at the painting. Please, no pictures Monsieur.
