Photo: Outdooractive Editors

The Louvre Museum is one of the most famous and largest museums in the world and is visited by up to 10 million people every year. It is located in the former residence of the French kings, the Palais du Louvre.

Most people know the Louvre by the striking glass pyramids that serve as the main entrance to the museum.

Whoever is in Paris should definitely pay a visit to the famous Louvre and take a look at the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci or the Slaves by Michelangelo. The museum also houses countless art treasures from painting, sculpture, arts and crafts and graphic art. In addition, there is Middle Eastern, Egyptian, Greek-Etruscan and Roman art to marvel at.
