The Louvre has more to offer

Flipping through today's "The New York Times," I stumbled upon a really interesting article which is published in The Arts column called The Louvre's New Islamic Galleries Illuminate Centuries' Treasures

If you have not heard about The Louvre, here's a little background about this great museum. It is a central landmark in Paris, France and is known as one of the world's largest museum. This museum is housed in the Louvre Palace which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Phillip II.

I believe everyone knows about Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting, Mona Lisa. Lo and behold, this original painting is hanging on display at The Louvre. 

The new Islamic galleries at the Louvre are partly underground and topped with a undulating gold-hued canopy. This $125 million project took 10 years to complete. It will be opened to the public on this Saturday.

These are some of the artifacts which the public get to see at the galleries.  Certainly arts galleries have something to do with photography and they work closely with each other. The museum has to get a photographer to capture the arts the museum will be put on display as a mean of publicity. Besides that, photojournalists would be invited to take photos and write about the galleries for publicity too.

I strongly believe that photograph is a good way to promote an event, be it an art galleries or a product. I bet The Louvre will be pulled in a strong crowd who would love to visit this Islamic galleries after they read about it on The New York Times or on my blog.
