Fast Food?
So, last Wednesday, at our regular 'Tea in the Attic' event, we discussed Gediminas Lankauskas' really fascinating (at least, in my opinion) paper about the Grutas Statue Park in Lithuania. One the key aspects of Lankauska's analysis was the role food served in the park restaurant evoked nostalgic memories of the old Soviet regime for some of the visitors. This got us thinking about how the museum visiting experience could be extended into lunch, or afternoon tea (but not quite to the extent described in The Onion's recent 'report'!).
And then I read this. McDonalds is to open in Le Louvre, or more correctly, in the shopping centre adjacent to the museum.
Discuss.

BBQ sauce on classical sculpture Yuk, yuk, yuk!
On the other hand, if passing by your local Macky-D's makes you remember an afternoon of high culture, maybe there are some advantages!
(Aside from the vileness of McD's foodstuffs and their dubious ethics...)
