. . . suspected: The Louvre Museum in Paris is filled with purloined loot smuggled in during the "Fog of War," cheap knock-offs and fakes, and second-rate doodles by never-was's. The very title, CIRRHOSIS OF THE LOUVRE, highlights the fact that this is a sick institution, built to house the French Royal Family who eventually had to relocate to Versailles due to the downtown facility's lack of indoor plumbing, and consequent centuries' worth of Royal Carp. Suffering from having this stinking mess left in the middle of their largest city while the Royals were smelling roses in their suburban gardens was the primary cause of the French Revolution. Foolhardy tourists visiting the Louvre even Today are cursed with the foul odors of the Bourbon monarchs, particularly near the often-stolen Mona Lisa forgery.
