Louvre Paris
The Louvre Paris France, is a magnificent museum housed in what was once 12th century fortress and later a 14th century castle. The Louvre’s collections range from ancient civilizations to mid- nineteenth century. Get the map of the various rooms (in multiple languages) before you go so you are ready when you arrive. It’s impossible to see it all in one trip so it helps to have a plan.
Under the Louvre pyramid
The ceilings are amazing!
There are over 35000 works on display here, assembled over 5 centuries, so if your desire is to see it all, you should plan several visits. (Purportedly, one needs 9 months to see every piece in the museum.) Get a map and spend a bit of time planning what you want to see before you start wandering.
More wonderful ceilings
The main entrance is through the glass pyramid but lines at this point of entrance are often long. Take the metro to the museum and get off at the Louvre stop. Arriving at opening time, we had no wait for tickets at all.
Artist at work
The variety of experiences found inside makes the visit and adventure. Watching artists copying masterpieces was really fascinating.
French schools exposed children to museums at an early age.
Remember, the museum is closed on Tuesdays and Sundays are the busiest day, particularly the first Sunday of the month when entrance is free.
