ADVENTURES IN THE LOUVRE How to Fall in Love with the World's Greatest Museum

Narrator Lynn Bradford's steady pace and clear voice allow this detailed analysis of the most popular and most misunderstood museum in the world to shine. Paris' Louvre houses iconic works such as the MONA LISA and the WINGED VICTORY OF SAMOTHRACE--yet its name's origin remains a mystery. Once a fortress and then a royal palace, the Louvre became a public museum after the French Revolution. Bradford's moderation reflects this work's conversational tone and relatable descriptions of navigating the Louvre's vast space and many works. Integrating art historians' insights with pop culture references, the audiobook captures the feeling of awe one experiences while visiting, which is punctuated by Bradford's well-timed pauses and emphatic tones. Bradford's narration is perfect for this blend of investigative journalism, history, and memoir. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
