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.

    Amazing museum but gets very busy especially around the Mona Lisa. Would highly recommend pre booking a ticket as you can skip the huge line that runs through the mall

    Book early, Ctrip is cheaper than the official website. It is very large and easy to get lost. You can't find some places for a day. It is recommended to look at the map to find places of interest and focus on it. There is a place to eat inside, not expensive. You can rest and drink water

    Make sure that you book online before you get there, this will give you a time slot and you can queue but that goes quickly before entering the museum. It's well worth the short wait though and we spent over 4hours looking at all the exhibitions and displays. What a wonderful place to really take in the history and appreciate the arts! Their sculptors are breathtaking but my favourite was the Egyptian display! They do have places onsite where you can grab a bite to eat or drink but with so much

    I love art, there’s so much more to see here than the Mona Lisa as well. I would advise taking the side entrance instead of the main entrance where the steps lead.
