La Louvre and the British Museum

In less than a week I have had the chance to see two of the most famous and enlightening museums Europe has to offer. However, even dedicating one entire day to each them, I could not see everything both had to offer.

...but I did see some of the famous pieces in their collections...

The British Museum was interesting (and free), offering rooms upon rooms of artifacts from different places around the world. From my visit i only had a chance to see the Ancient Greek, Roman (some) and Egyptian areas, as well as most of the Ancient and Medieval Europe areas. The amount of information I took in was overwhelming.

La Louvre was much more magnificent, and the building itself was something to behold. Here I only had a chance to see most of the Italian Art, the Medieval Louvre, Much of the sculptures, and a few others. Of course, no visit is complete without the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.

Now, the only problem is that I cannot remember much of the information off the top of my head to put with the photos. Even if I did, I would need a day just to type it all in...
