In which I find the odd parallels between the Louvre Museum, the British Museum, and “Where’s Waldo” books by Martin Handford. Overall. a rather silly overview of a very remarkable place.

Show Notes

• What do the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace have in common? Listen and find out the surprising connection!
• The Lapith & Centaur frieze sculpture that I saw in the British Museum is at this page (for Patreon Supporters) — Lapith people show up everywhere!
• My silly Mona Lisa TikTok video that got 100+ hearts & shows the crazy crowd.
• Here’s the same video on YouTube shorts if you’re in a country with censorship.
• There are a lot more videos of the Louvre on my YouTube and TikTok pages.
• Homework: Look up Jacques-Louis David and see if you can find his person guide along with a photo of the painting, and tell me you aren’t reminded of Where’s Waldo (Or Where’s Wally for our European listeners)
• Also: Feel free to compare Giotto di Bondone’s haunting art with your nightmares. There is a connection.
• Yes, I recorded a shameless promo video in the Louvre. Hopefully I won’t go to jail.
• And here’s a bit of a farewell video to France.
• TRAVEL TIP: Try out BlaBlaCar on your next international trip. It works quite well in Europe and India, too, apparently.
