5.6 - We've Got Reading Down to a Fine Art

October 14th 1750 saw the opening of the Louvre, the world-famous art museum which has become home to such masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.

Read a book with a word of 4 or more letters in the title that matches a word in the name of an art piece at the Louvre from this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... . The word must match exactly, with one exception: where "St." appears in the work title, "saint" may be used instead.

Required: state the word and the art piece.

there are a few works with St e.g. St George - can the word Saint be used?

I think that's fair. Task wording updated.
