excellent

[sameh111, 03/01/2012] I'm very happy I did not believe I went to a place like this. I have heard about this museum a lot and also I read a lot about him that amazing museum I have ever seen before. Although the queue to purchase tickets is very crowded and also the ticket price, but I enjoyed a lot when I entered the museum.and over the plate I heard much about is the Mona Lisa and I wanted to see it but I've found it is not exciting as I expected, but that really impressed me paintings and other art Italian. but I will become happy if I went there again with tourist guides so I can understand everything there .

[pupsy, 11/03/2010] When I first went to Paris the very first sightseeing i saw was the Louvre.I thought that this was the most peaceful scenery i've ever seen.The water in front of it,the people lying around,reading books or just having a nap,the birds singing on the roof the Louvre,as if the time has stopped there and nothing happens.Those were my first impressions of the famous Louvre.It's unique and so magical shape made the whole impression even more strong and everlasting.The museum used to be royal fortress and nowadays it is the perfect place to learn something more about the history,literature of paris.B [more]

perfection!

After detailing opening times and admission costs, the article describes what it calls "the museum to end all museums". It is so big that, "just when you think you've mastered it, you turn round a corner and discover another...series of rooms". There are all kind of exhibits, from classical paintings to tribal art and antique sculpture. The building itself is a "marvellous architectural hybrid" of a historical building with futuristic accesories (the pyramid). After a detailed history of the museum there are some users tips including alternative ways to jump the worst of the queues and some i [more]

The author proclaims that the Louvre houses "one of the most extraordinary art collections in the world" which consists of "approximately 290,000 works", warranting numerous visits by "dedicated art lovers". As it has become "increasingly popular ", it has many queues and "lacks in quiet". He further describes it as "a large well mapped place" with free "information sheets in multiple languages" and special facilities for handicapped patrons. It is recommended to "purchase tickets in advance" and also remember that smoking, flash photography, food and animals are disallowed. There is a souven [more]

perfection!

Frommers rates the Louvre as "exceptional", proclaiming it to be "one of the greatest art collections ever". The glass pyramid entrance is described as a "startling though effective contrast" to the architecture of the palace, where you will find the "Louvre's two most famous ladies" namely Mona Lisa and "the armless Venus de Milo". Selective viewing is required as there are "30,000 works on display" which are divided into "seven departments" and therefore Frommers recommends repeated visits or taking a "guided tour" of the highlights. The author found Leonardo's Virgin and Child with St. Anne [more]
