The Louvre

For those who don't really know anything about art, the Louvre has some of the most important pieces in western art. The building is ridicilous in scale. It is bigger than the largest Westfield Shopping centre in Australia, filled with art and is about 700m x 300m.

I really don't know how to describe the place. It is just so overwhelming that you are numb and speechless to comprehend it. Most people seem to be wondering around just taking it all in and appreciating it ....except for the fricken' Americans. They are trying to explain it to one another in really loud voices and massively annoying.

One American guy was saying that Leonardo and Donatello had a competition and Donatello won. One can only hope they were taking about ninja turtles cause they lived several hundred years apart. One was a sculptor while the other was a painter/scientist type dude.

So after about 5 hours, I barely scratched the surface of things to see - it is just that damn big!
