All told this was probably my fifth trip to the Louvre, so the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo just don't have the same excitement as they once did - plus the crowds are ridiculous.
But wandering around you find a whole bunch of exhibits that most people just blow through - like this example of Mesopitamia's artwork. We also saw the Hammurabi code this time, and Napolean III's (???) apartments, which as expected were a bit over the top.
