Le Louvre Museum

One of the most spectacular museums in the world is Le Louvre Museum. Its immense size and countless collections make it one of the most visited museums in the world. Everyone goes to see the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory. These are only three of the magnificent pieces in the Louvre.

The Louvre museum is not a day trip. No one can see everything in the Louvre in one day. Besides the fact that it is just overwhelming, you will drop from sheer art exhaustion. You certainly will not enjoy the beauty of the Louvre unless you take your time and truly see the wonders it contains.

If you have a museum pass, and you should, you should visit a part of the museum over a period of time. One day you can view the breathtaking paintings and the next you can start with the antiquities. Even if you aren’t an art lover, you can appreciate the beautiful sculptures, Egyptian artifacts, and every painting you have time to see.

Because Le Louvre Museum is one of the most visited places in Paris, you should go early and during the slow months if there are any. Buying a museum pass online or in Paris will save a lot of time because you won’t have to stand in the ticket line and wait. During peak times, the line can go on and on for hours. Using the automated ticket option will save some time.

When you visit the Louvre, choose what you really want to be sure to see first, and then go from there. There are many virtual maps on the Internet for you to study. If you are on a tour and can only stay for a few hours, choose just a few pieces to see. It is better to truly enjoy a few pieces than to run a race and remember nothing.

Another collection of the Louvre you will not want to miss is the Crown Jewels. They are gigantic jewels and too beautiful to believe. You can also see some of the authentic pieces of furniture used by the Kings and Queens of France. These pieces of furniture are works of art within themselves.

You must try to see some of the antiquities. The mummy exhibit is not as creepy as it sounds. In its own way, it is very interesting and enlightening to modern tourists. You can even see a real pyramid in the museum. How cool is that?

Whatever you see in Le Louvre Museum will stay with you for a lifetime. Yes, the Mona Lisa is small but perfection personified. If you get tired, rest a bit and then continue the tour. Le Louvre Museum is certainly one of the greatest collections of art in the world and certainly worth the time spent there.
