Louvre (encore x 2)



such a beautiful staircase!
yes, it does look like a vagina though


a door for staff only-
everyone could see it through a glass window
 but you couldn't pass into the world behind it.
It reminded me of a story I read about a museum curator in Paris
that was basically begged to take a "disaster" off the louvre's hands-
it had been in the basement in storage.
It ended up being worth as much as $5 million!
Here is the article




another staircase


arches

an exhibition in progress-
still top secret!!


view from the louvre


my favorite little alcove


another exhibition in process


loving the contrast


the more modern section with native american art and african
and asian art. Not as much as the other wings, but a sizable amount.


please excuse the myspace shot-
have to keep it classy in Paris!
I can't be taking pictures of myself in an obvious fashion!!


a nice little resting area,
a peaceful place in a sometimes stressful museum.

love, alex
