I debated on whether or not to take the kids to the Louvre. I know shocking, but I just think that some of the most popular art works are over rated (like the Mona Lisa). I think at some of the smaller art museums they can have a much better experience with art sans all the crowds. The kids REALLY wanted to go and see the most popular art pieces. So, after spending a few weeks researching and studying these art pieces, we put together a scavenger hunt through the Louvre. We got up super early one morning and beat the crowds and had a great time racing around the Louvre. A big help was that the kids already studied these pieces and knew the history behind each piece. Made the experience a lot more meaningful.

This piece was so much more meaningful after all the French Revoluion that they have learned.
