it is impossible to describe the sheer splendour of the musee louvre. with the da vinci code, this structure has achieved cult-like status (no pun intended) around the world!

first up, the exterior of the louvre. it is simply one of the largest and most breathtaking buildings. i would probably rank it as the most magnificient structure in paris, even ahead of the eiffel. the glass triangle dome makes it super unique and a picture with it would definitely say a thousand words.

next up, the interior. the lourve is split up into 3 different galleries, Scully, Denon and Richelieu if i remember correctly. anw, if u ask the info counter staff, they would always recommend the gallery with mona lisa in it.

the experience is like a pilgrimage. hundreds of ppl would flock straight to the mona lisa (hard to miss with loads of pointing to its location) and it's very crowded. downside is u can't take pictures in there. but it is indeed an experience to witness the actual mona lisa.

elsewhere, there are tonnes and tonnes of famous sculptures, state rooms, paintings etc etc etc. most of the galleries are pretty spacious and even with crowds, they can accomodate quite a number of ppl. only problem i faced was at the mona lisa gallery.

it is IMPOSSIBLE to truly complete the louvre in 1 day due to its sheer size (heck ,it might even be impossible to complete in 1 year). however, this place is a must go and one should schedule at 1 full day to fully appreciate this truly magnificient and dare i say , EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!

Agreed it's a fab museum but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop spelling its name wrongly. It's LOUVRE and not LOURVE. If you hit the edit button and change all the typos you may get a better response to your review.
