Louvre

The Louvre Museum is one of the world's foremost art museums. Located in Paris, France, it is home to 35,000 pieces of art, spanning from early civilization to the contemporary period. Originally built as a fortress, and later expanded into a palace, it was not until the French Revolution that the buildings and the artworks it had became a public museum.

In September 1908, as part of his education, Indiana Jones went to the museum with his tutor, Miss Seymour. While viewing Leonardo da Vinci's painting, Mona Lisa, Jones made the acquaintance of another American boy, Norman Rockwell, who was sketching the masterpiece. Guided by Miss Seymour, the two friends continued around the museum, where Rockwell was interested in the realism of some of the paintings, and Jones quickly got bored with Impressionist pieces, even ones by Edgar Degas.

Sensing that the boys had had their fill of great art, Miss Seymour took them to a puppet show.
