Theoretically there are five great art museums in the world: The Met, The Hermitage, MoMA, El Prado, and The Louvre. I don't know who made the list or what the standards were, but I have long remembered the list after hearing it some time ago. I have been lucky enough to wander The Louvre several times in my life. Each and every time it's an overwhelming experience. I find myself as in awe of the building itself as I am of the art on the walls. Today's post is therefore 90% about the architecture. Check it out:
Tomorrow I promise photos of the art hanging on these spectacular walls!
Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve only been there 1 time (so far) 25 years ago. I bumped into more people looking (with my mouth wide open in awe) at the ceilings, floors and doors. I must go back.

Thank you so much for posting the wonderful pictures. We were in Paris a couple of years ago and drove by the Louvre, but our tour didn’t stop there. Just as well, because I certainly don’t have the stamina any more to do all that walking. Your pictures are the next best thing!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Julie. I had no idea The Louvre, as a building, was so……so..so SUMPTUOUS on the inside. It’s definitely on my To Do list now.

WOW…..First, Congratulation to you and Steve on your engagement. Paris….wow…..it’s overwhelming…almost too much. All the beauty, the detail….so much to take in. Then, to consider the workmanship that created all of this. You did a nice job of representing all, but. WOW!
