So they say you could spend x number of days in the Louvre and not see everything. True. But, we did our best. There were like 15,000 clay pots in the Egyptian section, and to me once you've seen the first 10 your done. Unless your a clay potologist. Id say we walked through 80% of the museum in like 5 hours. Afterwards our brains were fried, we were hungry. Back pains etc etc.
A more photogenic exhibit at the Louvre, these are the furnishings of Napoleon.
EGYPTIAN SHADOW PUPPETS!!!! (You can't take us anywhere)
I was reading this story on the wall, and I think I recognized the plot line from an episode of WKRP. You know, the one where they throw turkeys out of the helicopter?
For every Egyptian artifact, there is a little girl waiting to jump into your photo.

It was pretty busy in there. Especially around the real popular stuff. About half of Japan was there to see Mona Lisa, which is a pretty small piece.
