Superlative Collections Set in Glorious Palace

Simply put, this is one of the most glorious places on Earth. Encyclopedic collections masterfully displayed in restored palace room spaces. Heavenly. Superlative. Entrancing. While much of the world was lavishing oodles of expenditure on bombs, war planes, standing armies of modern killers, and cutthroat megabusiness strategies to enslave all peoples on the Earth, the French quietly lavished the equivalent of over 14 BILLION USD on this one museum in a program of restoration, security, design, and lighting upgrades during the 1980-1998 time period. Standing as a great testament to the intelligence and artistic reverence of the French people. Who certainly understand the core meaning of the term Civilization.
