My contribution is limited to photos of the outside of this wonderful building (actually I am not even sure you can photograph the inside), and on my last visit to the city I didn’t even get to go inside! Too many other attractions and not enough time. But as one of the world’s largest museums and central Parisian landmark, it is not to be missed.
