"Winged Victory"
Similar to Versailles, where does one begin to see what's in this larger than life art museum? We focused on three major works of art and then wandered through the hallways to see its vast array of offerings!
Oh, the Big Three were the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory! Finding them in this huge museum was not a problem - just look for the crowds! Wherever they gathered, there had to be a masterpiece!
