Paris Louvre Museum Guided Tour Mona Lisa and Masterpieces
Description
With its five floors, 500,000 works of art, and glass pyramid, the Louvre is a must-see attraction. And while its size and scale are impressive (it was a 12th-century palace, after all), it's the masterpieces that cement the museum's reputation. The Louvre houses eight departments. Egyptian Antiquities, Oriental Antiquities, and Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities are displayed alongside more modern collections such as those in the Departments of Paintings, Sculpture, Decorative Arts, Prints and Drawings, Renaissance paintings and Islamic Art. In total, 35,000 works are exhibited, including world-renowned masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, the Seated Scribe, the Winged Bulls of Khorsabad, the Winged Victory, the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and the Napoleon III Apartments.
