The Louvre


This was beyond exciting for us to be here.








Once you move away from the main crowds you are in areas all by yourself.








Everywhere we looked including the floors and ceilings we were amazed by the beauty


These were marble doors

I felt like I was going to wake her up it was so realistic



The paintings are so detailed.  I learned that the kings of the day would send out their armies naked because they were going to die anyway so why spend money on armor. 


Winged Victory was one of the main reasons to visit the museum








Cat Mummies


Fish and Lizard Mummies


The decorated inside lid of a sarcophagus


Egyptian Cat Goddess 

How did they make pots so big 






Horse bits






Details of his muscles and fingers gripping his leg as he pulls out the spear






I was happy to capture this nice quiet moment when I walked around the corner and saw this woman sketching



This is an inverted pyramid inside an area of the Louvre

Who wants the ducky...do you want the ducky?
