Finally got a chance to go to the famous Louvre. This museum has a vast collection of sculptures and paintings. It's quite impossible for someone to see every single one, well maybe if you go on a tour. But I can't spend 4 hours in a museum. So I'm just going to post things that I liked or was interested in

The ceilings were so extravagant.
Greek & Roman Sculptures
I found that I was more interested in the sculptures especially the
Greek sculptures. After taking a Greek mythology class, I have become
with anything that is associated with Greek mythology.

| Zeus/Jupiter: God of the Sky & King of the Gods |
|
| |
 |
| Bacchus/Dionysus: God of Wine |
 |
| Narcissus |
Winged Victory of Samothrace
 |
| Athena/Minerva: Goddess of War |
 |
| Ares/Mars: God of War |
 |
| Apollo: God of the Sun |
 |
| Hercules & his son Telephe |
 |
| Hermes/Mercury: The Messenger God |
 |
| Venus de Milo (Aphrodite): Goddess of Love |
 |
| Cupid/Eros: God of Love | |
|
Doesn't Cupid look like he's doing the doggie. LOL
French & Italian Sculptures
 |
| Spartacus |
 |
| The Three Graces |
I really loved this sculpture. Simple, but yet so beautiful and elegant.
 |
| Satyre and Bacchante |
 |
| Captifs |
Paintings
 |
| The Famous Mona Lisa |
|
The crowd around this painting was always much. So annoying cause people were trying to pose with the painting. Pose with a painting really. Getting a good picture was a problem
 |
| Liberty guiding the People |
|
|
I was excited to see this cause Coldplay used it for the cover of their "Viva La Vida: An Death of All His Friends" album and I LOVE Coldplay!!
Egyptian Sculptures
