The Louvre

There are about 35.000 objects on display on at the Louvre, and walking through it, you feel like you see most of them just by turning your head. There are paintings and sculptures everywhere, tucked into every corner. We saw the "Big Three" first, of course: the Mona Lisa, the Winged Vistory, and the Venus de Milo.






But the rest of the collection is astonishing too, and quite far-reaching. It includes things like the original Code of Hammurabi:




and even an Easter Island statue (the one that isn't Avery).




Even the buildings and grounds are beautiful.






All in all, an amazing place to visit.
