The most famous museum in Paris without any doubt. The museum has been open to the public since 1793. After a complete renovation started in 1981, the museum was reborn in 1993 with the glass Pyramid. Thanks to the novel and movie ‘The Da Vinci Code’, there are even more visitors than ever from all over the world. Since nearly 30,000 works of art are exhibited, it’s almost impossible to see it all. If it’s your first visit, try to see the most famous pieces in each wing. Don’t forget the Pyramid beautifully illuminated at night. It will be an unforgettable memory of Paris.
Principal works: Mona Lisa, the Venus of Milo, The Code of Hammurabi, The Winged Bull, Nike of Samothrace, The Lacemaker, The Wedding Feast at Cana…etc.
