If you happen to stumble across Paris, you would be a fool if you don't visit her. By her, I would mean Leonardo da Vinci's famous portrait of a woman...

 " The Mona Lisa"

Mona Lisa's smile has repeatedly been a subject of many—greatly varying—interpretations. Some have described the smile as both innocent and inviting. Many researchers have tried to explain why the smile is seen so differently by people. The explanations range from scientific theories about human vision to curious supposition about Mona Lisa's identity and feelings.  ( credits: Wikipedia )

The intrigue behind those smile has baffled millions of people. Every time you look at her, it's as if a secret is being hidden. A curiosity springs deep within that just captivates and makes you stand still.  That smile mysteriously wants you to see a glimpse of her world... her life... her secret.. 

I would say, she is the perfect muse to invite you to explore the Louvre. I was in awe just to see the architectural design of the building. With the modernistic approach of having a glass triangle in a middle of a traditional Renaissance design palace; the Louvre would make your heart just stand in amazement.

This magnificent structure holds works of art that are simply spectacular. In your quest to learn and enjoy your glimpses of a world known in the past; I would definitely suggest to spend and rent an audio guide. A moment to yourself to simply enjoy and learn is one thing that you would cherish for the rest of your life. For my fellow artist and writers, while inside, this is your time to simply immerse yourself in the creativity of our forefathers. 

Let each glimpse

Each mystery

Each feeling

Be our own 

As we step behind Mona Lisa's Smile...
