There is so much incredible art there. You could spend a week and not see all of it. While in Paris go to the Musee d'Orsay also for more modern art.

Felicia, I had already heard that Mona was smaller than imagined, so that part of it didn't surprise me. But what I appreciated, was that this was the same painting that had been painted by the "master" over 500 years before, and I couldn't help the tears that came to my eyes. I was overwhelmed. The Louvre is still an experience I think everyone should see if they can. Michelangelo's sculptures were dynamic, Winged Victory took my breath away, so many beautiful and historical things to see. Yes, I LOVE museums all over the place...But the Louvre is special. Much like the Met in New York, and British Museum in London....some are just awesome! If you can, put them back on your "to-do" list :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153032340957455598.post-43904893374809686502012-06-08T09:54:13.876-07:002012-06-08T09:54:13.876-07:00I am such a museum junkie, the first thing I do wh...I am such a museum junkie, the first thing I do when I move to a new place is find the museums and the local library! I too was disappointed in the size of the Mona Lisa but Venus de Milo made up for it!NM_Creatrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359847723138971660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7153032340957455598.post-79370424628749662002012-06-08T00:54:49.178-07:002012-06-08T00:54:49.178-07:00A lot of the big museums and galleries have amazin...A lot of the big museums and galleries have amazing websites where you can virtually visit great works of art. And don't rule out the public library either. I love browsing through books I would normally never even have seen.Carin Winkelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201476346043631398noreply@blogger.com
