TOUR GL
"GRAND LOUVRE MUSEUM" (2 1/2hour Walking Tour)
Your priority access ticket will allow
you to follow your guide straight into
the world's largest museum. No need to
stand in line! This guided tour offers
the perfect opportunity to learn about
the museum's huge collection and its
greatest works of art, such as the
Mona Lisa, the
Venus de Milo, and the
Coronation of Napoleon.
Before it became a museum in 1793, the Louvre had long been one of the principle palaces of the Kings of France. Located right in the heart of Paris, the Louvre's galleries stretch for 786,000 square feet. It is home to the world's largest collection of art works, spanning more than 7,000 years from ancient civilizations to the 19th Century. The museum's collections are split into eight different departments: Egyptian antiquities, Greek, Etruscan & Roman antiquities, Near Eastern antiquities, Islamic art, Paintings, Sculptures, Decorative Arts, and Prints & Drawings. Spend time discovering these collections with your guide, who will show you some of the museum's most famous works and tell you about the stories that lie behind them. Marvel at the Mona Lisa, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1506, one of the most famous female portraits in the world; the Venus de Milo, a celebrated Greek sculpture dating from 100 BC depicting the goddess Aphrodite; or the giant 33-foot-long painting of the Coronation of Napoleon, painted in 1807 by Jacques-Louis David to commemorate the crowning of Napoleon Bonaparte in Notre Dame Cathedral. After your guided tour, spend time exploring other parts of the museum at your own pace. Note:
- After your tour, why not take
advantage of your ticket and stay longer
in the museum to eat or enjoy shopping
for souvenirs such as posters, books,
etc.
