3 Greek sculptures at the Louvre (yes, Venus too)

One of the rooms I loved while visiting the Louvre in Paris was the one dedicated to Greek sculptures. We saw the impressive works of art famous around the world! I knew them from books, but now I was very close to them and it was a special sensation! From the sculptures we saw, here are: Athena (Minerve), La Palas de Velletri (another Athena) and famous Venus de Milo.
