Musee du Louvre
More Info | + My Favorites
Originally built as a fortress in 1200 and then rebuilt in the mid-16th century as a royal palace, Musee du Louvre became a public museum in 1793. The face of Musee du Louvre became more modern in the late 20th century with the addition of three glass pyramids in the centre of the Cour Napoleon, which were constructed according to the design created by the Sino-American architect IM Pei. The museum began with a collection of 2,500 paintings in the late 18th century, and today contains more than 30,000 displayed artworks. It is divided into several rooms including those which hold paintings, sculptures, objects, Oriental Antiquities, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscuan and Roman Antiquities. A section of the museum is also dedicated to a "primitive" art collection with pieces from the Americas, Australia, Africa and Asia. The museum's most famous painting is La Joconde, which is more popularly known as the Mona Lisa. Guided tours and recorded audioguided tours of Musee du Louvre are offered, or guidebooks are available for purchase. Entrance tickets are available for purchase in advance at several ticket offices and department stores: advanced ticket purchase is highly recommended to avoid queue lines. Allow between several hours and a full day to tour the museum.
