The Kampung Girl

First day in paris, we went straight to Louvre museum, we took metro line 1 stop at palais royal mus e du lourve , the thing is if you take underground you wont get to see the pyamide straight away till u reach the atrium itself, but the interior of the museum is really nice. Really stunning when you look out of the museum through the pyramide itself:>


view from the ground floor of museum through the pyramide:>

The museum got lots of collection, but ofcourse the best of all, The mona lisa smile, most of the tourist come here just for the painting itself, ofcourse there are those art lovr who really appreciate the painting, but mostly is becourse it is so famous that you have to see it, and we are the later:> haha…i have to see it, cos it is famous and is the original piece from the Da Vinci:> And the piece was kept in the Denon hall.


Obviously the french knows that mostly people are after this piece of art, the sign is everywahere:>

As we climbed the endless staircases, we were wondering, how will the painting really looks like? hmmmmmm, better be good..
and atlast, after good 10 minutes of walking and climbing, we sw the painting:>
And i snap a picture of it, ofcourse as you all know, most of the museum will prohibite people from taking photoes on their painting, including this one, but people just cant be bother, once in a life time, if not take picture, how to show off to other people that i have actually seen the painting? hahahaaaaaaa…so, the camera flashes are everywhere despite of the officer were shouting in french that no photo taking allowed, some of them even get pull to the side and given verbal warning…anyway, i manage to take a not so good snap:>

The mona lisa, the painting itself is not really big, about card board size, and it doesnt really looks like what those books described, she actually looks quite ghostly in the painting. maybe too much camera flashes:> well..thre are so many other paiting in th e hall that looks much better than this one..is it becouse the painter is da vinci or becouse the story behind the painting? I dont know, power of fame..

After the mona lisa, we moved on to see other thing, and i just realise that we passed by another famous sclpture without even realise that is another world class famous piece-venus de Milo.well, it just looks like any other piece of sculpture in the hall, and also any other rome sculture that people like to display in their garden fountain..huahuaaaaaa, it show how much i dun know about art..
