I visited the Louvre in July 1980, spending the entire day there. Nowhere near enough time to even run through it. Was able to see and photograph the lovely Mona Lisa so there's that. Although it was very busy, it was nowhere near the crowds that visit now. While I only had 3 short days to visit Paris, I fell in love with her. Maybe someday I can see her again.

Visiting the Louvre was both breathtaking and overwhelming for me. We spend an entire day there and discovered so many things, yet only scratched the surface. I highly recommend a visit.

I've been to the Louvre! It's an awesome museum. Spent 7 hours walking around, man we're my feet hurting the next day.

I have been fortunate enough to travel to Paris twice (1987 and 2017) and visited The Louvre both times. It is an amazing and facilitating place. This brought back many wonderful memories of my times there. Next time I am in Paris I would definitely go again!!

Heading off to Paris in a few days.

As I got older my curiosity and interests got out of hand. I take great pleasure in learning every little detail, from the technical details to the romantic stories and all in between. I'm quite sure I could spend easily spend an hour on just one of the paintings.

Needless to say I'm hit by an enormous amount of anxiety lol. There is so much to see, so much to learn, so much to enjoy and relish.

What an incredible feat of humanity.

I use this channel to vicariously see and experience the things that I know I will never be able to.

Thank you Simon.
I think if I can ever retire I would like to live in Paris for a year. I would visit the Louvre 5 days a week, and I would drink lots of wine. That would be nice.

I love all the drawings you guys threw in there. It makes it so much better.

I was there in September 2008 and I was blown away. I am not really an art person. This gave me a new appreciation. Plus there was much more than just paintings in the place. If I were to ever go back to Paris, I would certainly go again. By the way, the photo of the crowd in front of the Mona Lisa is spot on, even 13 years ago.

Never realized it was that large. Thanks For your time!

I have been to the louvre with my parents years ago, and yes, I have seen The Mona Lisa, and yes, it's pretty small, I still wished that movie and TV productions wouldn't portray the painting enormously larger than it is.
No air condishioning in sections since that could damage the artworks, still impressive though.
Take care, and all the best.

just visited it one year ago, it's such an incredible museum

I went to Paris in 1974, it was August and not crowded at all. It was amazing over 3 days . A museum trek through Europe is a must for any art history student ✨

Great video as always.
A small addition. This museum is placed in the absolute center of paris, where 1 m^2 is around 14 000E for an apartment.
That would be at least 1 billion E just to buy that much surface in paris. Add to that, the fact that those buildings have so much history that they would sell for way more...

Le Louvre. The word, the monument, the history, the heritage. Love to the world it cries out.

[pammmmm]

Going there and taking my time is on the bucket list

Inside the museums
infinity goes up on trial.
Voices echo
"This is what salvation must be like
after a while"
But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues
you can tell by the way she smiles

Simon's expression when he's trying to work out if he's already covered the Pentagon "Did we cover this already? I've made so many videos I lose track"
Says the man with about a million YouTube channels

Megaproject suggestion: The Hermitage in Russia (plus special mention to the cats)

Maybe you can do a video on the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.
