Musée de Louvre: Prolonged Exposure May Cause Art Attack

Continuing with my cheesy motif, the Louvre is everything you could ever imagine it being, and more. It would have been better had I received a complimentary bag of potato chips at the door, but I managed to subsist on a diet of pure wonderment during my stay. Honestly, I wish I could take 10 or 15 trips to the Louvre. There is too much amazing artwork in there and most of it deserves more than my casual passing by. I was able to take some time to sit in front of many pieces, but there was so much more that I wanted to do. I think the best plan would be to become a night watchman there just to patrol around, get really familiar with the paintings and then wallow all day after work in a contemplative stupor. It was very nice to see the major attractions such as the Mona Lisa and The Venus De Milo, but even their magnetism didn’t undermine the fantastic collection of pieces in the museum. It is not even worth my time to try to mention all of them, for I would wind up listing most every significant artist from everywhere in the world from prehistory onward. The best part about that statement is that it is really not that much of an exaggeration. Ahhhh the Louvre. I can say without hesitation that is something that everyone should experience in their lifetime if they have the chance. Well worth the 9€.
