A view of La Tour Eiffel from the Louvre courtyard
Just inside the Louvre - the space is amazing. A clash of old world through a modern sparkling mass of glass eyes.
The Venus De Milo
Created at some time between 130 and 100 BCE, it is believed to depict Aphrodite (Venus to the Romans) the Greek goddess of love and beauty. It is a marble sculpture, slightly larger than life size at 203 cm (6 ft 8 in) high.
The Teddy De Milo
Manufactured in China at some time between 1993 and 1994 AD to depict a polar bear; a symbol of comfort and coziness to American children. It is 3/4 marble sculpture, with the head being made of faux fur, plastic eyes and nose, with a thread mouth. Slightly smaller than a life size polar bear at 3 feet, 2 inches.
