While Walking in the Louvre…
Every now and then, I will be posting a section titled “While Walking in the Louvre…” This section will reveal the most random/bizarre thoughts that occurred to me while I was walking through the Louvre’s prized galleries. Please Note: I’ve decided to post only the most entertaining thoughts under this section. The objective is to demonstrate that there are many ways to relate art to your everyday life and to have fun while viewing beautiful masterpieces. I encourage you to MAKE YOUR MUSEUM TRIP PERSONAL! Hope you enjoy this peak at some of my most secrets thoughts.
