The Public at The Louvre

30 January 2012 By: Marlene5 Comments

So they say that the Louvre Museum is a must-visit place once you’re in Paris. It’s definitely true and for the art lovers it must be a sublime experience. It’s also a lovely experience for the not so art enthusiasts for it might be a memorable once in a lifetime opportunity. I was excited to see the glass pyramid at the Louvre though I would also love to see the Monalisa of Leonardo Da Vinci but it wasn’t the best of our luck at the time. Instead, I took some photos around and it so happened that I caught a lot of people in them.

A man standing on….?

Really, what was that man doing? And what was that he was standing on? I can’t seem to figure out what it was but in one of my photos I saw a man getting on that thing. I did not see it in my own eyes then but only when I was browsing my pictures.

People admiring the place?

Some were posing for picture taking and some were just looking around. Even on a cold winter day they didn’t mind at all. They must be tourists, too. I was admiring the entire structure and I didn’t mind getting these people in my photos.

Some people outside the Louvre Museum

What’s hubby looking at? The people or the museum?

I’m not sure if we can visit The Louvre again but if not, then I will say that was an awesome once in a lifetime experience.

I have always wanted to go these. I have yet to go to Europe, but want to badly. Did you get to go inside?

  It was New Year’s Day when we were there and it was closed so we didn’t get a chance to get inside. 🙁

I remember visiting the Louvre in 1997 during my only trip to Paris. We were fortunate to move in with a friend of my father who was able to help us on our tours. I was in awe when standing in front of the Mona Lisa. Sadly, the film roll of our Louvre tour did not develop.

  The Mona Lisa was the only art I wanted to see cos they say it would give you a creep by just staring it, hehee. Unfortunately it was closed that day we were there. Sad about your photo film. Anyways, the Louvre is just there waiting for us to come back, right?
