So what do Paris, France and Green Bay, Wisconsin have in common? They both celebrate icons whose names end in the utterly unutterable "vre". Yes, although Brett FaVRE has himself probably never been to the LouVRE, he does share with the museum this linguistic peculiarity.
So either the star quarterback has French forefathers, or a trapper from Wisconsin found serious favor in Louis the XV's court.
Anyway, here are a few shots and videos of our visit to this art trove. Kris enjoyed the variety of sculptures, paintings, and artifacts. Although nice to get the lowdown on prehistoric Mesopotamia, I think I would have rather seen a Packers game.

I had the same reaction to the Mona Lisa (big deal). I've NEVER understood why the masses are obsessed with that dinky painting when there is an amazing Titian painting with a better story hanging right behind them...etc etc.
You got some great works of art in this video, I loved it!!
Silly French.... we have twice as many of there paintings in the BArnes Collection outside of Philly and the tourists dont even know it.
