Le Louvre à fond

The Louvre is the largest art museum in the world. It would take months to see each of the 🏺 35,000 pieces of art 🖼️ displayed at any given time, but most visits generally last about 2-4 hours - including time to admire la Joconde (the Mona Lisa) and the Venus de Milo. This issue of Lawless French à fond offers vocabulary, grammar, and listening practice exercises related to museums in general and le Louvre in particular.
