Statue of Sekhmet

We were lucky to get evening tickets for the Louvre museum. It is such a stunning place in a stunning environment. But so overwhelming at first.

 

We only got to spend maybe 2 hours wandering around the museum, taking photo after photo, and making sure we got to see the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. These iconic masterpieces are the anchors of the museum, but they are surrounded by wonderful works of art from all over the world and from many eras.

 

The next time I visit the Louvre I promise i will be more organised, more relaxed and less rushed. I think you could spend days and days submerging yourself in the artwork and the place. Magical. The Statue of Sekhmet in the Egyptology section of the museum stood out for me. I loved the look and the history of the piece. There’s a cheekiness to it too!
