Musee du Louvre, Paris


A mind boggling collection of artifacts and paintings elevates the Louvre Museum to be one of the largest of its kind in the world. The Greek, Roman, Egyptian and French civilizations are preserved for centuries here. The world famous Mona lisa is a grand attraction and the numerous other spectacular paintings tell stories without uttering a word. The Nepoleon's gallery displaying the palace rooms and halls of the time evoke a lot of curiosity on the adhered royal traditions.

However, I felt it whimsical for a French museum to host and boast a lot of history about Italy, Greece and Egypt more than the French. Doesn't this tell you something??
