    Louvre Museum


    The Louvre Museum in Paris is the largest and undoubtedly the most famous museum in the world. Located in the heart of Paris, between the Seine River and the Rue de Rivoli, the 800 years old building was once a royal fortress decorated with beautiful artifacts. The Louvre is considered the world's greatest art museum, with an unparalleled collection of items covering the full spectrum of art through the ages.

     
    The Louvre Museum is divided into 7 departments with collections incorporating works dating from the birth of the great antique civilizations right up to the first half of the 19th century, thereby confirming its encyclopedic vocation.

    It displays the art from Egyptian, Greek and Roman antiquities, and the western art from the Middle Ages to 1848, consisting of some of the finest paintings, drawings and sculptures in the world, including the world-famous painting of Mona Lisa by renowned painter Leonardo da Vinci. Its collection of Egyptian antiquities is one of the finest in the world. The museum was first opened to the public on November 08, 1793, during the French Revolution.
