The Disappearing Louvre

Just a brilliant piece of visual trickery for you today, on one of the most iconic pieces of architecture in the world. No need for a lengthy description as the visual below tells all.

Street artist JR has collaged the entirety of the ground surrounding the Louvre, creating a stunning optical illusion to make it appear like one of the Great Pyramids. When viewed from above, the structure seems to simply disappear into a cavernous hole.

The stunt has been done as part of the glass pyramid's 30th birthday celebrations.

Pretty mind-blowing stuff. Keep an eye out for any more Louvre-related celebrations on the horizon.

PS - It's good to be back.
