ridiculous line already

all this to go through the security gate which I guess wasn't there before

Eventually got in and had aroud 9H to see most everything, still a lot but manageable if you're efficient. This time I started with the underground ruins of the castle that used to be in the place of the museum:

before

after

really cool that they only found this semi-recently when digging for extra galleries

Lots more to see:

Then was time for the main museum, lots of rooms:

the audioguide wsa quite cool, based on a nintendo 3DS with geolocation

quite cool

I never take selfies :)

found my fellow leo :)

unexpected statue :)

Paintings came next:

the room with Mona Lisa was packed with people trying to take selfies

for this

all these people

More rooms still:

inside joke :)

The King/Castle section of the Louvre is better than Versailles in my opinion:

And more to see still, by then the day was getting a bit late, got to see almost everything before they started closing around 21:30:

and we eventually got kicked out

Nice to finish with a night shot:
