louvre

My last visit to the Louvre was far more packed than my visit 5 years prior.

My wife and i visited the louvre years ago on a cliché backpacking trip through europe after our first year at college.

Actually, if memory serves the Louvre has a small museum about itself inside itself.

I wonder why they used Bluetooth when the Louvre already has over 500 WiFi antennas in place for their guide.

When we visited Paris, we spent hours at the Louvre every single day we were there.

The Louvre museum: the world's largest collection of Napoleon's captured loot.

I had the recent disdain of discovering that one of the restrooms at the Louvre museum cost 2 EUR to use.

The Louvre and the D'orsay actually sponsor sketching and copying.

I'm a bit sad that there is no scale for extreme hotspots - I'm sure you'd be able to pinpoint the Mona Lisa's location in the Louvre otherwise.

The Louvre Pyramid, Centre Pompidou, much of Palais de Tokyo (e.g., National Museum of Modern Art in Paris), Parc de la Villette, Musée du quai Branly.

If the Louvre or the Computer History Museum were to pay someone to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the topics their museums cover, I'm not sure how that would be a problem.

The pinnacle example of this imho is the 202 year old Parisien Au Richelieu Boulangerie (bakery) that closed it's doors recently in Paris due to rent increases because of it's proximity to the ever popular Louvre Museum.

If I need to find pictures of the Louvre, I just use Everything on the top level folder and search for "Louvre".

Type in the search field "hours Louvre" and the first and best answer would be the opening and closing times of the famous museum.

I typed in "mona lisa museum" and it came up with The Louvre.

Agreed, this debate may sound silly to some, but for those of us that are passionate about typography, making this sort of change is akin to the movie studio going in and recutting Pulp Fiction to "make it better" or having the staff at the Louvre adding a little something to the Mona List to "make it better".

Comparing Soylent to french cuisine is like comparing a white wall paint to the entire collection of the Louvre.

It's not like the Louvre, where you wander for miles through rooms of mind-numbing portraiture.

The founders have previously built many successful companies, started several banks, worked at the Louvre, written several books, and more.
