Duran Duran make history at Louvre; Paris, France


Duran Duran who performed in the famous Louvre Pyramid, designed by IM Pei.


Princess Caroline of Monaco was among 275 guests sipping Don Ruinart champagne and watching Duran Duran perform at the Louvre Museum's biggest-ever fundraising bash last night, which raised $2.6 million, organizers said.


The fundraising effort is for the 18th century Decorative Arts Gallery of the museum, which is due to re-open in 2011

This is the first time that the Louvre let a pop brand perform.

Simon Le Bon said he hoped the show had "put a smile on the Mona Lisa's face".

I think Simon loves to put a smile on any woman.
