The Louvre is one of the five most famous museums in the world, with the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Emmeta Museum in Russia (East Palace) and the Palace Museum in China. Its greatest feature is the collection of a large number of world famous paintings and sculptures, the collection of 400,000 pieces of art, the most famous of which is the Mona Lisa, Venus and the statue of the goddess of victory. The Louvre covers an area of about 45 hectares. The whole building is U-shaped. It is located on the North Bank of the Seine River in the centre of Paris, France. It is divided into two parts: the old one was built in the period of Louis XIV and the new one was built in the period of Napoleon. It is the oldest palace in French history. The Louvre was built in 1204 as a castle for the French Royal family. King Louis XIV saw the design talent of the architect Pierre Lescoe, which led him to rebuild the castle and form the Renaissance art style. In 1692, the Royal Collection began to be exhibited here, and paintings and sculptures were often exhibited. During the French Revolution, the French National Assembly officially decided to change the complex into a museum. After more than 800 years of expansion and renovation, it has formed such a magnificent world-renowned art palace. It is worth mentioning that the pyramid glass entrance in front of the palace was designed by the Chinese architect I. M. Pei. The Louvre's Spring Department Store is also a good place to buy duty-free goods. There are relatively few shoppers and tax rebates are very convenient. Tax rebates can be made by using visa (master) or by drawing money directly from the bank next to them on the basis of the tax rebate receipt.

    There were a lot of people in the queue early in the morning, but fortunately, the staff took it to another entrance, saving a lot of time. After entering, there is a Nintendo game console for the interpreter at the entrance of the hall, 100 points.

    The most busiest art museum in France. The architecture of the building is incredible and plus with its historic art. Make sure to get a ticket booking before you go there. Many people are trying to visit, it could be all tickets have been booked.

    It’s such an amazing experience visiting Louvre! of course we had to check out the legendary Mona Lisa! If you are into arts and history, definitely allocate a whole day to slowly appreciate each exhibit as the museum collection is extensive! It would be easier and more enjoyable if you also get an audio guide !

    Visiting the Louvre Museum is like stepping into a treasure trove of art and history. From the iconic glass pyramid at the entrance to the vast collection of masterpieces inside, every corner holds something captivating. You can spend hours exploring world-famous artworks like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory of Samothrace. The museum's architecture is itself a work of art, blending modernity with the historic palace. Be prepared for crowds, though.
