Museum housing numerous pieces from Egypt, representing all the Muslim dynasties in Egypt.

It's what many consider to be the most beautiful museum in the world. The origins of the Louvre date back to the 12th century, when Philippe Auguste decided to build a stronghold there, and the idea of opening a museum there was not born until the French Revolution. At the end of the 20th century, under the presidency of François Mitterrand, architect Pei built a glass pyramid in the courtyard of the Carrousel. A symbol of the museum, the glass pyramid was widely criticized at the time of its opening, but is now widely accepted as the entrance to the museum. Eight major departments, spread over three wings - Richelieu, Denon and Sully - serve as reference points: Oriental, Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman antiquities, Islamic art, sculptures, objets d'art, paintings and graphic arts. Thousands of pieces are on display in these venerable buildings: only 7,500 for paintings, including the famous Mona Lisa. At the same time, numerous temporary exhibitions are organized here: the 13th-century artist Cimabue, "Les Figures du Fou" from the Middle Ages to the Romantics, and masterpieces from the Torlonia collection are just some of the events to be discovered. From the museum, take the time to admire the incredible view as far as the Arc de Triomphe and, beyond, La Défense. If you'd like to visit the whole museum in one go, we advise you to plan a full-day visit and - especially at peak times - to buy your tickets in advance. A totally unique experience.

The Best. World. Museum.

Eindrucksvolle Gemälde und tolle Skulpturen, umso schlimmer ist das Drumherum. 40 Minuten Warten trotz Onlinetickets. Die Schlange für die Besucher ohne Tickets bewegte sich schneller als unsere Schlange. Am schlimmsten war aber, dass manche Menschen durch das Securitypersonal bevorzugt wurden. Nettes Gespräch mit dem Herren von der Security und ein Pärchen vor uns wurde direkt an der Schlange vorbei an den Eingang gebracht. Leider haben wir dies an diesem Tag nicht nur einmal beobachtet. Es wurden insgesamt zu viele Menschen reingelassen, wofür das Museum nicht die Kapazität hat. An den Toiletten wartet man ewig, Toilettenkabinen kaputt, kein Papier, keine Seife. Für die Anzahl an Menschen zu wenig Sitzmöglichkeiten. Da muss ich echt was ändern, da es wirklich das an sich tolle Erlebnis zerstört.

Magnifique musée évidemment ! Mais je souhaitais particulièrement saluer l'accueil qui nous a été réservé avec mes 3 enfants dans le cadre d'une visite guidée pour les familles. Le personnel dédié à l'accueil des groupes et notamment un employé très agréable dont je ne connais hélas pas le nom, qui a été patient, flexible et professionnel à l'égard de notre arrivée quelque peu tardive et de mon fils de 2 ans qui avait actualisé son mode "nuisance sonore en cours". Nous avons non seulement pu rejoindre la visite guidée groupée mais nous avons également bénéficié de commentaires sur l'histoire du musée et les espaces agréables en famille. Superbe expérience qui a ravi toute la troupe âgée de 2, 10 et 16 ans.

A noter en famille : Un studio dédié aux enfants est situé au rdv sur l'aile Richelieu. Des ateliers sans réservations, coloriages géants et autres découvertes sont proposées en accès libre

El museo es muy lindo y muuuy grande. Lleva mucho tiempo recorrerlo. Lo que no me gustó es que (cerrando 18hs) a las 17.50 hs ya nos estaban sacando afuera sin poder seguir recorriendo.
