medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Nor really medieval, but-- on my first solo visit to the Louvre in 1974,
I went to the ANE galleries to escape crowds. The stele with the Code of
Hammurabi was so deserted by everyone (even the guards) that I made a
rubbing of the inscription. When I revisited it last year I was dismayed
to see that it is now on the recorded tour, and constantly surrounded by
hordes of tourists taking pictures of each other standing as close to it
as barriers will allow. As you say, surely there is middle ground somewhere!
