·Experience the charm of the filming locations of "The Phantom of the Louvre" and "The Da Vinci Code"·Appreciate the magnificent display of the treasures of ancient Greek, Roman, Egyptian and other civilizations hereVisit the giant glass pyramid that combines classical palaces with modern architectural stylesThe Louvre Museum was built in 1204. The castle has undergone several expansions and was converted into a museum after the French Revolution. It is one of the three largest museums in the world, along with the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Today, the Louvre Museum has a collection of 400,000 pieces, spanning more than 1,500 years. The Louvre Museum usually exhibits only about 10% of the total collection, but it is enough to feast your eyes.The Louvre Museum has many treasures, the most famous of which are the "Three Treasures of the Louvre": "Venus de Milo", "Mona Lisa" and "Winged Victory of Samothrace". The marble of "Venus de Milo" is so white and pure, yet so moving.Is it Aphrodite? Or is it Amphitrite?When the "Venus de Milo" was sent to the Louvre, the art restorer's first reaction was to repair the missing arm of Venus. But in order to make the work not distorted, he finally gave up this idea.The missing arms make it very difficult to identify the statue. The identity of the deity in ancient Greek art is usually determined by the objects or iconic elements in the figure's hands. There were many questions about the identity of the goddess. Could she be Amphitrite, the sea goddess who was particularly revered on the island of Milo? Or was she Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, as her half-naked body suggested? She once wore jewelry, which tilted the balance of the statue's identity towards Aphrodite, also known as Venus in ancient Roman mythology. Later, a hand holding an apple was found near the site where the statue was unearthed. This is one of the artistic elements of Venus, and the marble used to carve this hand holding an apple is the same Paros marble as the statue. For centuries, Mona Lisa's famous mysterious smile has been sung and lingered. Mona Lisa looks at the viewer with her legendary smile, and behind her there is a beautiful natural landscape extending into the distance.The Mona Lisa: The Stolen Thief of the CenturyOn August 21, 1911, there was panic in the Louvre! The Mona Lisa was missing! Newspapers of all sizes published the news and offered a reward. But for more than two years, there was no trace of the Mona Lisa. Until one day, an Italian art dealer contacted the investigation authorities, and someone actually handed him this famous painting that the whole world was looking for! The person was Vincenzo Peruggia, a glass craftsman who had worked at the Louvre. The Mona Lisa was found, and she became even more famous. The Winged Victory of Samothrace is so light that it seems to float in mid-air. Originally a tribute to the gods, it stood high in a temple on the Greek island of Samothrace, just as it now stands on the Daru Stairs. The statue shows the winged goddess of victory Nike landing on the bow of a ship."Dance Hall Star"When the Winged Victory was installed at the Daru Steps in 1883, the background decorations designed for it were far more complex than today, with the dome covered with magnificent mosaics. However, these decorations were not well received, and some critics even compared the Winged Victory to a cabaret star. Finally, in 1934, imitation stone wallpaper covered the original decorations, creating a solemn and elegant atmosphere.

The artwork inside is magnificent. It is definitely worth visiting, especially if you like Greek mythology and medieval history. I love my visit here💖
The museum is very photogenic. The antique in the museum is attractive and informative. Should pay a visit when u go to Paris.
-✅Rich art collections: The Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world, with nearly 400,000 art collections, including many world-famous artworks such as "Mona Lisa", "Venus", "Winged Victory", etc. These artworks cover different historical periods and cultural backgrounds, allowing you to appreciate the diversity and creativity of human art. -✅Unique architectural style: The architectural style of the Louvre combines Renaissance, Baroque, Classicism and other styles, and its architecture itself is a work of art. The entrance to the museum is the famous glass pyramid, designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei, which forms a sharp contrast with the surrounding classical buildings. In addition, there are many exquisite sculptures, murals and decorations in the Louvre, allowing you to feel the luxury and elegance of the French court. -✅High historical and cultural value: The Louvre was once the palace of the King of France, where 50 kings and queens lived, and is an important symbol of French history and culture. In the museum, you can see many exhibits related to French history and culture, such as the crown, scepter, jewelry, etc. of the French royal family. These exhibits not only have high artistic value, but also allow you to understand the history and culture of France. ✅ Good experience: The Louvre offers a variety of ways to visit. You can choose to visit freely, join a guided tour or rent an audio guide. In addition, there are many restaurants, cafes and shops in the museum, so you can enjoy food and shopping after visiting.
The palace of world-class art, you must go and see the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo... You must go and appreciate such amazing works of art. It's funny to say that when I went there, the Louvre used Chinese and images to guide the direction, which meant they knew what we wanted to see...
It is recommended to enter the Louvre from under the pyramid. There is a shopping mall downstairs. When you take the subway out of the station, you can go directly to the entrance below without queuing up. There are Chinese maps and Chinese books in the Louvre, all at various prices. There is no Chinese voice guide. Friends with mysophobia can download related apps. Compared with many apps, I personally recommend: Pocket Tour Guide. The number of explanations of the Louvre in it is considered to be relatively large among peer apps. Some plates are written, which simply gave me a new understanding of the Louvre. The pomegranate painted on the plate represents many children and grandchildren. I also mean the same world, the same wish. In addition to paintings and sculptures, there are also many jewelry, decorations, daily necessities, and even... urns. Hahaha. Friends who don’t want to only know the three major pieces of the Louvre, and then have language difficulties and reading fatigue, should not be missed. In addition to tourists, there are many Europeans who love art and will sit quietly in front of a painting for an afternoon; there will also be children who like art and paint Cupid sculptures for several weeks; I think this may be the right way to open the museum. Listen to the audio guide to understand the original materials of the creation of these paintings, the love and hatred of these mythological characters, and the life experiences of these painters. The more you understand, the more you can understand. Even if you stare at the paintings in a daze, sit quietly and look at them, your mentality will slowly change. How many stories are there in the Louvre? You will know it only after you go there, see, listen to, and think about them. It's a pity that time is tight, I have to go there to soak in it if I have the chance~
The Louvre is very big. When we went there, we wasted some time because we passed by the duty-free shop. When we went there, the Louvre was closed. The Louvre is not far from the opera house, one is on this side of the street and the other is on the other side of the street. It rained a little on the day we went there, and the bottom looked a little wet, but it did not affect the atmosphere of the Louvre. It is such a big building that I can’t take a full picture with my phone. The golden appearance, because there are not many people, the quiet Louvre is even more mysterious! Walking in the Louvre, I saw patrolling soldiers, which was super cool. I just saluted for respect! It’s a pity that I didn’t see the interior of the Louvre. I looked through the glass and it was very attractive. I must go and see it next time! The last picture is the interior of the Louvre, which looks very impressive!
The Louvre is the first of the four largest museums in the world. It was built in 1204. It was originally the royal palace of France. It has been home to 50 French kings and queens. It is famous for its rich collection of classical paintings and sculptures. The main reason to go to the Louvre is to see the three women: the statue of Venus de Milo, the oil painting of Mona Lisa and the stone sculpture of the Winged Victory of Samothrace! In addition to them, there are actually many paintings that are worth careful viewing, from art works from various oriental countries, sculptures from the Middle Ages to modern times, and an astonishing number of royal treasures and fine paintings, etc., enough for you to spend a whole day or even a week here~
