The lighting in the Louvre makes taking photographs very tricky, so I apologise in advance for their quality. If this section encourages people to go to the Louvre to see the artefacts themselves, mostly Greek vases, it will have done its job. Note that not all parts of the Louvre are open all the time, and it is a very good idea to check opening times on its web site, www.louvre.fr, before making a visit. The photographs of vases are in approximately chronological order.
