@_elena you might also be interested in this:

Caucasian = either someone from the Caucasus region (not, typically by today's categories, a white person) or a white person under one of a handful extraordinarily racist categories.
You can just say white, if that's a useful detail! -
@andycarolan it really is. I just joined their membership program so I can visit ALL YEAR FOR FREE... my daughter too because people 18 and under have free entry. I look forward to taking her there regularly 🥰
@_elena Membership is definitely worth it if you visit regularly! Nice to hear that under 18s get to visit for free... especially for the education value!

@andycarolan I joined because the last time I bought tickets to take the little one there she was sick... and tickets are very expensive and non-refundable.
So I thought a membership would be great as no pressure if we have to cancel at the last minute.
Plus: priority access to get in. Last Saturday we skipped a queue with 200 people in front

@amministratore I try
If by the end of 2026 the European Commission has the link to their Mastodon account on their homepage... and the Louvre joins the Fediverse, I know it would have been a very good year
@_elena good luck and may the Lord be by your side

@_elena Oh it's awful when they miss out because of sickness. We had to abandon a vacation on the second day when my son was sick. Didn't get a refund at all, despite holiday insurance.
Looking at the prices, Louvré appears to be €95 for a solo membership... €150 for two? That's extremely good value if you visit it a few times!
Wow, that line skip must have felt awesome lol

@andycarolan yeah I paid 95 for solo since for my child is free... our 3 tickets cost 22 Euros (for my husband). And indeed, skipping that insane line felt AMAZING!
sorry to hear about your son and that vacation, sigh. despite holiday insurance? what?

@_elena Membership is such great value! I imagine they have plenty of visiting exhibits too so you get to see different works?
Yes... it was suspected norovirus. They wouldn't honor the insurance as we didn't get a doctors note... which we weren't told when we left the site. Oh well.

my 5-year-old (who loves her Plushtodons) is a little frustrated there are no Mastodon t-shirts in children's sizes. She would love one
Pinging @Gargron for this request (I'd promised her I would ask)

@Su_G thank you! I will give it my best

@_elena Great! May they listen to you and learn how to write alt text.
It would be so easy for them to have at least automated content. And hey, they could join that French instance https://reseauculture.fr/about for #culture and #museums!@parismusees has already an account. And perhaps @ChristineDebray could be a helpful contact?
