Parisian Scenes - Day 9
One of the most important museums in Paris is the Louvre museum, which used to house kings and currently houses art.
Personally, I don't like this museum much, I just don't connect to the mass of collections of just about anything art-related from past centuries, without any seeming order involved, but I do understand why tourists from all over the world come to visit it.
First and foremost, the palace is absolutely gorgeous. Second, it is the home of the Mona Lisa, one of the most famous artworks of Leonardo da Vinci, which is a wonderful thing in itself. Then, it has thousands and thousands of other artworks, paintings, sculptures, etc., from many (more and less) famous artists, from all over the world.
So, what do you think? Is the Louvre interesting enough to be worth a visit?

And in the meantime – don't forget to have a wonderful day.
I have visited Louvre a few years ago and I was very disappointed. I was expecting Mona Lisa to be a big painting but it is quite small and behind the glass so you can't even appreciate it properly.
Overall I was super tired, nervous and anxious from tons of tourists there so I would not go again 😊
Oh, yes, they neglect to tell you the part about the Mona Lisa...
However, there are really nice guided tours in the Louvre, so if you still have it in you to give it a second chance, I'd love to recommend a few :-)
Beauty!!!! Interesting post

Are you still in Paris? If so, talk to me, I'd love to take my little one there too, sometime.
I am based in Paris so that I am very often there. I wrote 'often' because I travel a lot and I am out of town like 30% of the time. Maybe this summer, I will try.
