It is a sad story, in a way. Beautiful!

Hi Sherry!
It's sad that Venus and the jealous sisters couldn't leave something beautiful alone. But at least C & P are back together in the end.
I hope I can take a leisurely stroll through the Louvre some day...last time I was there with two small children and one got lost. I barely remember seeing art after that!
Gorgeous sculpture.
Hi adrienne!
Yikes! I trust you found the one who got lost : )
We heard that if you were to view one object every three seconds, it would take about three months, 24-7, to see everything in the Louvre.
