I can take the Louvre or leave it. The lines aren't necessarily as bad
as they're made out to be, but the collection isn't necessarily as
great as it's made out to be. If you can crane your neck, you can see
the Mona Lisa or Winged Victory. Apart from that, while the art

The Louvre is one of the main attractions that people feel that they have to visit if they are ever in Paris, but it took me several visits to actually make it there. To try to see "the Louvre" in its entirety is nearly impossible and is a very unpleasant experience.
Much better is...

It’s quite the Mecca for art aficionados. The architecture of the museum is an engineering genius and it’s no surprise that it’s regarded one of the finest arts museums in the world. The outside façade is buttressed by slanted glass pyramids that enclose the entrance area. There is a small...

Who goes to Paris and doesn't visit the Louvre? It really is a must-see. The most important thing to know about it is that it's really difficult to visit the whole museum. I couldn't. As much as I was enjoying myself and as much as I wanted to see more and more of it, I just couldn't keep...

On my most recent trip to Paris I managed to spend some time at the Louvre. Yes of course I wanted to see the Mona Lisa, but my afternoon had many more surprises than that. There was only one disappointment and that was that the Louvre is such a large place that I didn’t have enough time to see...

I am a big fan of visiting the Louvre out of season. I love traveling to Paris and the Louvre, for its fantastic galleries, is one of my favorite museums, but part of enjoying artwork and history is the personal quiet time one can take to appreciate various works. Going to a museum should be a...
