Every year, millions of visitors to Paris visit the Louvre, attracted by its masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and other magnificent works of art that are icons of human achievement. But the museum — once a forbidding fortress built to house and protect French kings — can seem more intimidating than inviting. In Adventures in the Louvre, Elaine Sciolino takes it as her mission to show how anyone can forge an intimate connection with the museum. She demystifies the Louvre, introducing us to her favorite artworks, both legendary and overlooked, and to the people who are the museum’s lifeblood: the curators selecting and arranging the works, the artisans producing frames and engravings, the builders overseeing restorations, the firefighters protecting the aging structure. An irrepressible and charming travel companion, Sciolino reveals a Louvre filled with unexpected mysteries, delights, and frustrations. She also takes us beyond the building’s imposing walls to reveal an expansive side, from the Tuileries gardens next door to the satellite museums in the northern French city of Lens and in Abu Dhabi. Through Sciolino’s eyes, we encounter a museum that is an elusive and seductive object of desire for anyone who longs for the connection and inspiration that great art provides. With her by our side, we cannot help falling in love with the Louvre.

Central Park

Fall Viewing Attractions

蓝星旅行者

Walking through New York&#39;s Central Park, it seems to fall into the gentle cracks of the steel forest. Morning light penetrates the forest, spreads powder and white brocade on the cherry blossom avenue, the wind is outdated petals fall, and the corners of the skyscraper soften into a background sound in the flower shadow. The city code on the bench is the most moving. The cold chair was stroked by the fingertips, and the short text on the nameplate hid the New Yorker&#39;s temperature: &quot;Give my wife Carol, because she loves Central Park, and I love her&quot; - the separation of life, the young encounter, the mother and son bonding, all condensed into a dew in the wood grain. When high school students spread out books and laughed on the sheep lawn, and when the reciting of Shakespeare&rsquo;s poems drifted from Cherry Hill to the lake, the park became an emotional resonant box, full of human narratives that transcended language. In the afternoon, I closed my eyes in the Ramble Forest area. Bird song and stream sound woven into natural white noise, suddenly understand the deep meaning of Olmsted: this 3.4 million square meters of green lung, originally dedicated to &quot;the handicrafts of tired industrial workers&quot;, so that people who can not travel far can drink nature here. The boat house pier at dusk is the most magical, The wooden paddles smashed the red-stained lake, and the wild ducks swam through the reflection of Manhattan. The hustle and bustle of the city sank to the bottom, leaving only the breathing in the shadow of the oasis of the oars. &quot;When the whispers of the bench fell into the palms with the cherry blossom rain, I knew that the oasis in this concrete wasteland, It was New York&#39;s prose poem to the world. &quot;&nbsp;
