france.paris.the louvre.classical

My "Classical" list includes Persian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman artifacts -- these are well represented at the Louvre, including column headers from the main hall of the Darius the Great w, The Winged Victory (Nike) of Samothrace w, and the Venus De Milo w.



There is also this odd little sculpture, featuring a surprise:

Many of the works were under restoration when I was there.
