The Louvre... the tour books aren't lying when they say this is the best museum in the world. Literally, I think I could spend 8 hours a day every day for a month in the museum and never get bored or see the same things twice. There's everything from Ancient Egyptian and Roman art to Da Vinci to Picasso to a wing of the Louvre untouched and preserved from when it was a 14th century castle originally. There are sculptures and paintings. Hundreds of paintings 20 ft by 40ft high and wide that are so huge and realistic that they must've taken a lifetime apiece to complete. It was so overwhelming. You're not supposed to take any pictures, but I snuck a few of the hallways and the Mona Lisa with my phone.
Just two of your average Louvre ceilings (seriously!)
The Mona Lisa.
