Louvre Museum Visitor Guide & Highlights

Housed in a former royal palace along the Seine, the Musée du Louvre is the world's largest and most visited art museum, displaying over 35,000 works across 73,000 square meters. Its world-renowned collection spans from ancient civilizations to the mid-19th century, crowned by Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Venus de Milo. Entering beneath I.M. Pei's iconic glass pyramid, navigating the vast Denon, Sully, and Richelieu wings can be overwhelming without a guided tour or timed entry ticket.
