I remember the first time I visited the Louvre I resisted photographing the glass pyramids that were built in the courtyard of the Musée du Louvre (1984.) It seemed like sacrilege! Here is such a classic design and then they install a modern-looking structure right in the center of the courtyard. I use to think it was completely wrong. Well over the years I have decidedly changed my mind. Without question, this modern-looking glass pyramid enhances the Louvre‘s courtyard, especially in the evening. I also love the way the reflecting pools enhance the entire area. Guess that would be the purpose of a reflecting pool :-)
