I was supposed to move onto Tel Aviv today but as I'm now finally getting a chance to go through my pictures and here are a few from the Louvre that I wanted to share. Besides the art on the walls, the Louvre is a magnificent building. Even the pillars and ceiling are art that I couldn't pass without snapping a shot.
The next two are the most well-known pieces on display. The Winged Victory of Samothrace dates from around 190 BC. The detail in the way the wind is blowing her robe is incredible in person.
The Mona Lisa is pretty good too - if you can get close enough to see a view of her that doesn't include camera viewfinders...
