It's easy for adults to get frustrated when kids don't have the attention span to appreciate museums full of masterpieces, but they just need to have the information presented in a more interactive way.Jesshttp://icecreamandpermafrost.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-20170098737584394732013-09-17T21:15:55.734-05:002013-09-17T21:15:55.734-05:00Nintendo at The Louvre!

I like how you told the kids to actually look up and see the real thing. I will definitely need a kid nearby to help on how to use the device since I have never done so. I completely forgot about The Cheat being there too.

Doing the Masterpieces tour took longer than expected because the kids simply would not be rushed. We also looked at the Code of Hammurabbi and the Cheat with the Ace of Diamonds. Both of these were far from the Masterpieces tour route, and we saw a ton of artwork along the way.

I was completely exhausted just walking around there by myself (I totally believe it takes 9 months to see everything). Nintendo's are a fantastic idea to keep older kids engaged and informed. I imagine the added visual component would engage the kids so much more than an audioguide, plus the fact that they are 'nintendos'! <br /><br />How much of the Louvre did you actually make it around?
