Is it just me, or does the main entrance hall of the Louvre museum feel uncannily like a tube station? When I first visited it seventeen years ago, I remember feeling utterly awestruck by the architecture of the place, with its great glass pyramid. Having visited it a second time this afternoon though, I must say that that very architecture left me distinctly unimpressed.  To be fair it was just a brief visit, as it had already been a busy day and we had left it slightly too late; but what I expected to dazzle me fell far short of the mark. Having now been using the London Underground so regularly for the last fifteen years, it genuinely reminded me of a tube station. The way you enter the museum by going down into a large chasm in the ground surrounded by doorways leading into various tunnels, honestly put me in mind of the tube stations I now use so regularly. That, together with the fact that the lifts were an absolute mess, I’m sorry to say left me feeling distinctly underwhelmed.
