The Louvre by city I art insider
The Louvre, in and of itself, one of the world's foremost works of art, with its' ten centuries of architecture and decorative arts throughout. We delve into the lives of the kings, exploring how their tastes and need to make political statements transformed the buildings, and discover how the Louvre became the richest museum in the world.
The art works are clamouring for our attention. We start by immersing you in the life and history of this spectacular palace, in front of the medieval walls. We visit the most famous works from Greek and Roman sculptures, to Italian paintings, to French works from the 19th Century to the former apartments of Napoleon III that served as the Ministry of Finance till the early 1980s.
One of our favorite moment to spend time in the Louvre is on Friday, during the late opening hours until 9:45pm. Perfect with a drink at Palais Royal before or after!
