Probably the most famous art museum in the world is the Louvre. This is a shot of the gallery house from outside. Since the line to get in was almost an hour long, and the water in the outside fountains was actually freezing into sheets of ice, i decided not to wait to go in for a tour. But outside the museum was still wonderful. Aside from the wonderful scenery, and countless statues in the park, this is where all the local artists of Paris gather in the streets to sell their work and draw your portrait.
