In the Louvre, the mighty Louvre


            The Louvre is a place where the mystical Holy Grail is supposed to be buried and home to many famous pieces of art that date back to centuries ago.  In addition, it holds a karma-injected curse that Austin Dwyer was the wrath of. 

            Lets start off on an interesting note; it is amazing how such a small area of Earth can be so famous.  This small area I am talking about is where a mysterious artifact that has been talked about for years and is a major religious symbol to believers in the trinity.  Surprisingly it has been the name of a Jay-z song and even in a Monty Python, but enough with the suspense, this sacred icon I am talking about is the Holy Grail.  In the Louvre under this enormous glass triangle that climaxes at a point with another triangle sprouting from the ground is where the Holy Grail is supposed to be merrily residing under.  It felt so surreal to be so close to this magnificent structure and I could not resist the urge to take a quick self-picture with it in the background.  In all seriousness it was actually really neat and all I could imagine was the scene from the Da-Vinci code when Tom Hanks was standing in the exact same spot as I was. 

            After observing the Holy Grail burial spot I ventured further into the museum where my eyes placed vision upon some of the most well known portraits in the world such as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.  Although I expected the Mona Lisa to be larger, it was still extremely epic and again I envisioned myself as Tom Hanks when he was standing in the exact same spot I was.  I tested the theory of the Mona Lisa constantly being able to look at you everywhere you were and it’s actually creepily true! 

            Speaking of women looking at me I spotted many naked women….sculptures around the museum as well.  I am guessing that the reason for this is that during the age these sculptures were made, women’s beauty was quite a spectacle and embraced by many artists.  During these ages women were seen almost literally as sculptures because they were not allowed to work or do anything too exhausting besides the dirty deed.  However, the women were not alone in being naked, I saw a lot of male reproductive organs throughout the museum which surprised me how vulgar some of these artists were.  I suppose that’s how a lot of people walked around back then but there was really no filter in these pieces of art. 

            Yet the most memorable part of the museum was the karma curse of the Louvre.  While Austin Dwyer was exploring the museum he engaged in a manifold of explicit poses with some of the statues.  The karma curse of the Louvre got Austin when he was performing some museum parkour outside of the Louvre and he wiped out in front of thousands of people from all around the world.  After suffering some painful injuries Austin Dwyer then learned never to disrespect art ever again and never will in his entire life.  In spite of this, there is a good chance his wipeout might be on some sort of media in the near months because someone must have gotten it on tape.
