Venus at the Louvre



The Louvre was crowded although since we've not been there before we have no basis for comparison. Lots of people, lots of crowd. Fantastic collection, beautiful and huge building. We probably saw 5% or less. We did get down to the crypt where we saw the foundations of the original fort.

An interesting phenomena I had not noticed before is the insistence of some visitors on having their photo taken with a well known piece of art in the background (vs. looking at the art!). Eager subjects and photographers would actually gently give me a shove to move as a looked at a piece. More about them being with the art, than the art.
