Anyone interested in doing a geek's tour of the Louvre on Friday night?

The Louvre is open untill 22:00 (if I'm not mistaken)

Basically: the tour would go through the Antiquities rooms (middle eastern, egyptian, greek, roman, etruscan) and NOT through the paintings (especially not 17th and 18th century french paintings :)

The geek's tour would/should at least include such items as:

Code of Hamurabi

The Menu of Tepemânkh
http://www.louvre.fr/llv/activite/detail_parcours.jsp?CURRENT_LLV_PARCOU...

First writing

Seated scribe

(In case you're asking: NO, the Louvre did not switch on "Clean urls" nor install "pathauto")

(I'm not a (art) historian, so I cannot explain the objects, but I the route through the Louvre)

Let me know if you're interested.

Sounds like fun, I might be willing to go, though no promises made, cause it all depends on how things go on Friday...
