Ive just come up with a symbol that represents the entire collection of the Louvre.

That is a symbol with 0 re-use and therefore 0 abstraction. That is much less interesting than a represtentation that can generalize across a wide range of uses

No no, it is actually extremely flexible and reusable:

draw("louvre")

It has support for lots of collections.
