Louvre Museum

The Louvre's grand halls stretch before the Doctor and Romana, vast corridors lined with masterpieces behind reinforced glass. The forgery of the Mona Lisa hangs prominently, its deliberate marking visible even from across the room—an intentional violation of centuries of art history. The air carries the sterile scent of museum lighting and polished marble, the ambient hum of ventilation and distant footsteps absorbed by the high ceilings. Security cameras track movement along the walls, their red lights blinking like vigilant sentinels. Visitors drift past priceless artifacts, their voices hushed against the weight of empire that permeates the space.
