Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Take Pictures With The Mona Lisa In Paris [PHOTOS]

If Jay-Z and Beyoncé are actually working on a new project together, the above image would be a pretty badass album cover.

The photo is one of several snapped during Jay and Bey's trip to the Louvre in Paris. Perhaps neither contemporary artist will ever make anything as iconic as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, but you can clearly see the inspiration in their eyes.

As a thoughtful gesture to the fawning publc, hip-hop's first couple also brought along young Blue Ivy, who already has more worldly experience than 99 percent of lowly peasants the general public.

Observe:

These photos followed a pretty hilarious moment outside the Louvre that our own Kyle Dowling reported on earlier this week:

While heading towards to famed museum, a tourist noticed an unidentified man (to him, at least), heading towards the gate with a gaggle of security guards. The muscle immediately told him "No video! There's no video!" Which either didn't sit too well with the tourist, or he was legitimately confused, because he asked, "Who is he?" And Jigga INSTANTLY responded, "Who are you!?" while holding Blue Ivy.

It's been widely speculated that Jay and Bey are working on a joint album, and Page Six reports that it could follow a similar marketing plan to the eponymous Beyoncé album released in 2013.

"This unusual release strategy, and the sales that followed, has even become the focus of a study by the venerable Harvard Business School," the report states. "It's believed that the famous couple will accompany the new release with simultaneous videos and even a movie."
