Don't you Louvre it?

So I've been getting some feedback.
And y'all seem to like all this Paris nonsense I've been rambling on about.
I figure, you gotta give the people what they want!
So fret not, I'll continue to speak of Paris
24/7
365.

Today's adventure covers
Le Louvre.
What is especially cool about the Louvre is that it is free for art history students (which my ID proudly boasts--I'm studying the history of Paris through its architecture, y'all!). A group of my friends and I took advantage of this sweet deal and headed to the palace on the Right Bank on our third night in the city. It was the second-coolest highlight of my trip thus far (you'll see the first tomorrow!). The Louvre is the most exquisite combination of modernity and ancient history that one can imagine. I could ramble on for hours on end about its magnificence, but I'll let the pictures do the talking...

Pretty dang cool.

I still have a museum wish list:
Musee d'Orsay
Ann Frank's House (Amsterdam)
Van Gough Museum (Amsterdam)
