The Louvre

Set in France's former royal palace, the Louvre is one of the worlds largest and most visited museums in the world, containing some of the most valued art treasures. Opened in 1793, the collection consists of antiquities once belonging to the French monarchy and aristocracy, boosted by Napoleonic plundering.
The Louvre has more than 380,000 objects and 35,000 works of art including sculptures, objets d’art, paintings, drawings, and archaeological finds. Admire Mona Lisa’s smile and Venus de Milo, and then discover ancient Egyptian mummies before heading underground to view the palace’s medieval vestiges.
