Always something new at the Louvre

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.
