Needs further checking! :)<br /><br />@sra: I guess the hordes of tourists can be quite annoying for real art lovers. We were lucky; it wasn't too crowded the day we went. However, the room that housed the Mona Lisa (and other Da Vinci paintings) were magnets for the hordes. They did once ban photography, but now they allow cameras (but with the flash turned off).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-83273235913445284322009-04-23T20:34:00.000+05:302009-04-23T20:34:00.000+05:30@Vamsee: I could easily come here again.

Also, there are many sculptures and paintings that you want to linger in front of. Part of the fun was also researching the paintings beforehand.<br /><br />@Lakshmi: Now that you mention it, Paris does have many Egyptian artifacts. In the Louvre and also in Concorde.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20340516.post-41873345248928977852009-04-23T19:35:00.000+05:302009-04-23T19:35:00.000+05:30Among other things I found fascinating at the Louv...Among other things I found fascinating at the Louvre was watching the people looking at Mona Lisa.
