Book Description
Excerpt from The Louvre So bewildering is the Louvre, so overpowering by its size alone, even without the vast collections which are housed in it, that few visitors realise its charm as a building, its profoundly interesting story as a royal palace. The great picture gallery takes up all the attention of the Sightseer; the other collections are hardly appreciated at their proper value; the building and its history are alike neglected.
