Visiting the Louvre

Visiting the Louvre is a special experience, but you need to know where to start. The first
thing to recognize is that it’s huge and you can’t hope to see everything in a day – so don’t
try. You get a handy map of the museum with your entrance ticket and it highlights its main
attractions, such as the Mona Lisa.
You can’t visit the Louvre and not see the Mona Lisa, but my tip would be to see it first –
though you may have to run to avoid the crowds! When you’ve done that, use the plan to
look for the galleries that sound most interesting to you, and spend the morning visiting
them, when you have plenty of energy. Then have some lunch at one of the reasonably
priced cafes, and spend the afternoon relaxing and finding surprises without looking at your
map. The beauty of any museum or gallery is personal discovery.

Answer T (true) or F (false):

1- You won’t see everything in one visit to the museum. _____

2- It’s more interesting to visit the galleries in the morning. _____
3- It’s not advisable to eat inside the museum. _____
4- The afternoon in the museum is less stressful. _____
5- Visiting a museum is very subjective _____
