This picture is worth a thousand words—or at least a few memes.

Beyoncé and Jay Z recently took a private tour of the Louvre with their baby girl Blue Ivy while in Paris, and the megastars decided to do what almost every tourist who visits the famous art museum does while there and snapped a picture in front of the historical Mona Lisa painting.

Except it's not just another photo of two people with the iconic Leonardo Da Vinci portrait. It's Bey and Jay. And they were able to get so close.

So, such a historical event clearly got the Internet freaking out a bit, and when the fine people of the web are inspired by something, we all get one thing out of it...memes!

A few artists gave the snapshot their own creative twist, either by switching out Mona Lisa and Queen B or by replacing the portrait with a different, more pop culture-friendly photo (Hi, Kanye West!).

The couple seemed to greatly enjoy having the museum all to themselves (talk about baller status), and were snapped re-enacting Antonio Canova's neoclassical sculpture Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss in a ridiculously adorable photo that will make you curse the day you ever questioned their marriage.

They also took sweet pictures of their daughter having a ball at the Louvre as she stared at the Mona Lisa with Papa Jay, and making use of all the free space by twirling around the museum.
