The Louvre is one of the largest palace buildings in France. It is located on the Seine River in Paris, south of the Plaza of the Paris Opera House. As early as 1546, King Franois I decided to build a new palace on the basis of the original castle. After that, nine monarchs continued to expand, lasting more than 300 years, forming a magnificent U-shaped Palace complex. The Louvre is one of the four major museums in the world. It was founded in 1204. It is famous for its rich collection of classical paintings and sculptures. It is one of the most precious buildings in the French Renaissance. Its overall building is in the shape of "U", covering an area of 24 hectares and 4.8 hectares. The Louvre is divided into six parts: Greek and Roman Art Museum, Egyptian Art Museum, Oriental Art Museum, Painting Museum, Sculpture Museum and Decorative Art Museum. The East facade of the Louvre is a representative work of European classical architecture. According to statistics, the Louvre Museum covers 19 hectares, including courtyards. It lies on the right bank of the Seine River from east to west. The length of both sides is 690 meters. The whole building is magnificent and magnificent. Hundreds of spacious halls used to display treasures are magnificent, with exquisite murals and fine reliefs on the walls and tops of the hall. The eastern facade of the Louvre is about 172 m long and 28 m high. It is divided into three parts according to a complete pillar pattern - "the base is at the bottom, and the middle part is a two-storey giant pillar with eaves and daughters'walls. The main body is an empty corridor formed by two columns. The center and both ends have protruding parts, which are divided into five sections. The protruding parts at both ends are decorated with wall pillars, while the central part is decorated with chair pillars and mountain flowers, so the main axis is clear. There was a trench guarded in front of the building, and a bridge was erected in front of the gate. Horizontally unfolded facades are divided into five sections left and right, and three sections up and down. The facade is mainly composed of a central section. The traditional French high-pitched roof was replaced by the Italian flat roof. The East facade of the Louvre opens small doors on high bases for people to enter and exit.

Visiting the Louvre Museum was an unforgettable experience. With the convenience of an E-ticket and mobile entry, getting inside was a breeze. The museum's vastness meant I couldn't see everything, but I strategically explored the must-see art pieces, including the iconic Mona Lisa. The historical significance and artistic brilliance on display make it a definite must-visit. Highly recommended! 🤩

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.
