The Louvre is world renowned for having perhaps the greatest art collection in the world. The exhibits inside of this massive museum are nothing short of extraordinary. Every person should make an effort to walk the halls of the Louvre at some point in their life. It offers you an unparalleled walk through the history of our world and its distinct cultures through art.
I personally find the outside of the museum complex equally impressive. It is, without a doubt, the most beautiful museum structure on the planet. I took this picture at night on a recent trip to Paris. The calm sounds of the fountain water splashing while viewing one of the most spectacular sights these eyes have ever seen made it very difficult for me to move on to the inside of the museum. If you get a chance to visit the Louvre, I highly recommend you take a few hours to explore the outside of the building in the early evening and at night.
