Former historic palace housing huge art collection, from Roman sculptures to da Vinci’s Mona Lisa
About The Louvre Museum
France
The Louvre is the world’s largest art museum and a historic monument in Paris, housed in a former royal palace along the Right Bank of the Seine. Originally a medieval fortress, it became a public museum in 1793 and now holds over 35,000 works of art spanning from ancient civilisations to the 19th century. Its most famous masterpiece is Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, but the museum also showcases iconic pieces such as the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix. The Louvre’s vast collections are organised across eight departments and three wings, making it nearly impossible to see everything in one visit. The modern glass pyramid entrance, designed by architect I. M. Pei and completed in 1989, contrasts strikingly with the classical architecture and has become a symbol of the museum itself. As much a cultural institution as a treasure trove of global heritage, the Louvre attracts millions of visitors annually and embodies centuries of artistic achievement.
