The Louvre, Part 2

The other night we went to The Louvre for our second visit.  There is a special exhibit of Rembrandt's works on his figures of Christ.  It was a collection of his works on Christ, those of his students, as well as works he personally owned.  There were maybe 40 to 50 total works there, all of which were amazing.  The problem is that we weren't allowed to take pictures, except for this one.

After that, we went to part of the Louvre that was Napoleon III's apartments.  They were amazing.  It's tough to believe someone actually lived there.  At one point, Nick said, "Dad, I want to be Napoleon!" 

I think Morgan enjoyed the crown jewels.

Once we were through the apartments, Nick helped us find some more stuff just beyond the apartments.

Including Napoleon's Throne.

And an awesome dressing table.

Sandy also caught a great glimpse of the Eiffel Tower from inside the Louvre.

Overall, it was a fantastic night.  Sandy and I really enjoyed the Rembrandt, and the kids got to enjoy seeing how the other half really live.  We will plan out our next trip in the future to see more of The Louvre!
