Seeing the Louvre could take 100 days

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

As the largest art museum on the planet, it spans over 652,000 square feet of gallery space. If you spent just thirty seconds looking at each of the 35,000 displayed objects, it would take you exactly one hundred uninterrupted days to witness all the imperial plunder the French managed to collect.
