Day 4! Louvre Museum

whoa! don't try to take any pictures near or close to or even the area of the Mona Lisa painting in the Louvre. The security people will kick your ass, beat you silly, and smash your camera! Ok, maybe just escort you away and i think make you delete the picture... But yup, there must have been about at least 80 people there in line waiting to see the painting....me.....i think what's the big deal....she's nice but not that super nice...

ok, pictures here...(remember....basically no photos allowed inside the museum)


train station


they had military people there doing security on top of having the police as well! I feel so safe :)


The Denon wing of the Louvre. Where the Mona Lisa and Mary on the Rocks paintings along with other sculpture and many old paintings


Virgin Mary with Child. I really gotta say that these sculptures are done in such detail that I feel they're going to move anymoment...like so real!


Mary Magdalene (no wonder they said she was a prostitute..?)


the inverted Pyramid


more...


Swarovski Crystal Store's window display
