Night at the Louvre Museum

My month in Paris eventually dwindled down its last couple of days as do all good things. And with project deadlines drawing near, I spent a good number of evenings in my room buckled down to my desk, studying. Luckily, it all paid off! Despite minor laptop malfunctions, my oral presentation regarding the evolution of music technology went seamlessly well. 💻 

Our last Friday evening was spent together at the Louvre Museum, the most visited museum in the world. Because I knew that I would not have enough time to look at 20,000+ in one visit, I briskly walked through the eight curatorial departments to have a glance at their respective themes: Egyptian Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculpture; Decorative Arts; Paintings; and Prints and Drawings. However, I did manage to make time to admire the top three pieces of art I sought to see while I was there: (3) Winged Victory of Samothrace, (2) Venus de Milo, and (1) Mona Lisa. Each of these three major pieces had massive tourist crowds that surrounded the premises. I also walked to the outdoor courtyard of the museum to see the overall architecture of the Louvre Palace and the glass pyramids. The whole experience was overwhelming and overloading, to say the least. 🖼️
