Overview

Take a trip to The Louvre Museum on your France Vacation

The Louvre Museum is the world's largest museum, displaying 35,000 works of art and 500,000 objects across eight curatorial departments. Located in Paris' 1st arrondissement, the iconic landmark was built as a royal residence to Louis XIV in 1546, and converted into a public museum in the 18th century. It underwent major remodelling in the 1980s and 90s, most notably with the addition of the iconic glass pyramid by I.M. Pei.

It would take you three months to see all the art pieces in the Louvre. Its most famous resident is undoubtedly Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Other well-known paintings include The Coronation of NapoleonVirgil in Hell, and The Raft of the Medusa. Famous sculptures at the Louvre include Saint Mary MagdaleneVenus De Milo, and Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss. From treasures of French kings to Greek, Roman, and Etruscan architecture, mosaics, and jewelry, Egyptian antiquities, and Mesopotamian art, the rich collections at the museum are unrivalled. To make the most of your time at the Louvre, understand its layout, pick a few pieces you really want to see, and figure out a route to get to them as efficiently as possible.
