~ JH ~: Paris Trip

Feeling so exciting that it is my first time to Paris. I can go to lots of places which I just heard about and saw it on television before.

We visited The Panthéon in my first day of the trip.

King Louis XV commissioned Jacques-Germain Soufflot to dsign the church in 1755, with construction beginning 2 years later.

I didn't take it very clearly. Can you see the wall painting on the roof?

It is hard to imagine how can they finish so well in the old age.

Here are surrounded by all paintings.

Sculpture in the middle of Pantheon

In Pantheon, walls are covered by all paintings about wars and god.

Look at the details! This is just a conner of Pantheon.

This is Centre Georges Pompidou

Centre Georges Pompidou,it was designed in the style

of high-tech architecture.It contain Musée National d'Art Moderne

which is the largest museum for modern art in Europe, and IRCAM,

a centre for music and acoustic research.

This is how it looks inside Centre Georoge Pompidou,
where is for ticket selling desk.

The " head" hanging which is special.
It is made of steal tick and twist it to become shadow.

We arrive Musée du Louvre in my second day.

I knew it would took a long to to look around the whole museum.

This is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument, which is a central landmark of Paris. Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).

It present lots of well known paintings,sculpture,drawings...

The Louvre Pyramid is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller ones, in the courtyard of the Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) in Paris, France. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark for the city of Paris.

There are too many sculptures... and I can not find out who they are....

Long corridor of paintings.

The Mona Lisa, Leonardo da Vinci, oil on panel, 1503-19,
probably completed while the artist was at the court of Francis I.

You can not see this very clearly. They dont have any explain for this painting.
But I love this one. The colour combination make me feel a real girl on the water thinking something.

Big amount of huge painting on wall.

Liberty Leading the People.
Romantic history painting.
Commemorates the French Revolution of 1830 (July Revolution) on 28 July 1830.

I don't know who she is, I love the sunshine are all over her body,
her beautiful body-shape interest me.

This one is so sad.

The Nike of Samothrace(winged Victory), marble, circa 190 BC

I finally see this with my eyes!
I like the feeling of peace and power!

This painting is drew from imagination.
In my memory,this is the biggest painting in the museum

La Grande Arche

A great national design competition was launched in 1982 as the initiative of French president Francois Mitterrand. Danish architect Johann Otto von Spreckelsen (1929–1987) and Danish engineer Erik Reitzel designed the winning entry to be a 20th century version of the Arc de Triomphe.
