.On the catalogue of the Louvre Museum available inside the museum, you can see small figures of the most famous antiques preserved there. Once I decided to go to the Louvre particularly to see these masterpieces.
It’s evident that the most famous one is the “Mona Lisa” or as the French call it the “Joconde”: I saw it. It’s awesome. But photography was not allowed. What a pity.

.I’ve been thinking of studying a bit of political and social science. Particularly I’m interested to read Samuel Huntington’s book, “The Clash of Civilizations”.
