What RADX AI Says
The world's most-visited museum — a former royal palace holding 35,000 works across eight curatorial departments.
Overview
Once the fortress and royal residence of French kings, the Louvre opened as a public museum in 1793 and today houses one of the greatest art collections ever assembled. The Denon, Sully and Richelieu wings surround I. M. Pei's glass pyramid entrance and cover everything from Egyptian antiquities and Islamic art to Italian Renaissance masters. To beat the crowds around the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, book a first-slot ticket at 09:00 and enter via the Carrousel or Porte des Lions entrances. Give yourself at least three hours — even that only scratches the surface.
