The
Louvre is the largest and almost undoubtedly the most famous
museum in the world. The building itself is 800 years old, and the
treasures within it represent centuries of priceless works of art.
You will need more than a day to take in this huge masterpiece.
The very rooms that house paintings and sculpture are amazing
works of art in and of themselves, with ornate ceilings and rich
decoration.
It is recommended that you purchase your
ticket on-line,
and save precious time!
The highlight is course a visit to see the Mona Lisa painting by
Leonardo da Vinci on the first floor of the Denon wing.
Divided into 7 departments, the Louvre
collections incorporate works dating from the birth of the great
antique civilizations right up to the first half of the XIXth
century, thereby confirming its encyclopedic vocation. |
