The Musée du Louvre
 or officially the Grand Louvre — in English, 
the Louvre Museum or Great Louvre, 
or simply the Louvre 
— is the largest national museum of France, 
the most visited museum in the world, perhaps the  most famous art museum in the world and a historic monument. 

It is a central landmark of Paris, 
located on the Right Bank of the Seine.  
The sprawling palace holds scores of corridors with walls and walls of priceless art and sculpture. 
Visiting the museum can be daunting at best because of the sheer size of the palace. 
Louvre is a huge art gallery housed in an old Parisian palace. 
 When we wander through the Louvre — now one of the largest museums in the world — it’s hard to imagine that it was first a fortress, then a royal residence for several hundred years. Some of its royal residents stayed for a short time only, preferring the calm of the Loire valley or the splendors of Versailles. 
Although the palace furniture and decorative objects have long since gone, the walls and ceilings still bear traces of this distant past. 
So follow the royal trail, from the vestiges of the medieval Louvre to the dazzling interiors of the reign of Sun King Louis XIV, and as you walk the rooms, staircases, and stables of the former palace, imagine what it was like to live in luxury in the Louvre! 

 As for the Pyramid which is made up of 673 diamond-shaped and triangular panes of glass, excluding the doors. 
This was a beautiful place. 
The location and setting was so faitytale-esque. Inside it just expands, it's never ending, you need a whole day really! 
Huge, huge, huge museum full of amazing works of art. 
Countless things to see within, 
and is an obvious must see when ever you are in PARIS, FRANCE














Masing2 buzy dgn camera(s)

Bahagian Tepi Glass Pyramid..









Muka LuqH penat bnyk berjalan
 & ramai orang..

















Sebut jer The Louvre.. 
pasti ingat "Mona Lisa"....kan?
(padahal banyak sangat2 benda lain dlm nii tapi 
nak story mory pasal satu2 agak payahlah...
come here & experience sendirilah...
I just cut it short...)

The museum’s three great ladies are.. 
— the Venus de Milo, 
the Victory of Samothrace, 
and Mona Lisa (paling famous). 


The Louvre is very crowded of course,
 but even if you're not a huge fan of art,
 you must come and see it.
 Make it your first stop here to go and see 
the Mona Lisa. 

Senang sangat nak tahu kat mana...
 She will be in a room full of people
 trying to take photos. 
The painting is mounted on a wall in the middle of a room behind a sheet of glass or perspex so no-one can damage it with security all around. You can't get close at all.
 Mona Lisa The renown of the most famous painting in the world has no doubt increased since the publication of The Da Vinci Code and the release of the film adaptation. 
Every day, thousands of visitors come to the Louvre to see Mona Lisa (Monna Lisa) in the flesh and to try and penetrate her disturbing mystery. 
Ever since the work was painted in 1504 by Leonardo da Vinci, kings and artists, historians and tourists, poets and thieves have projected their fantasies onto the supposed portrait of Madonna Elisabetta Gherardini, wife of Francesco del Giocondo. 
All sorts of things have, are, and 
will be said about her. 
Ever since she was stolen on August 21, 1911 (she was found again in 1913), 
The Mona Lisa traveled three times during the last century: in 1911, as mentioned, 
in 1963 (New York and Washington D.C.), 
and in 1974 (Tokyo and Moscow).
 Now forever Parisian, protected behind glass from the air, from flash photography, 
and from attacks,
 she smiles to remind us that she was once alive.

 When visiting the Louvre it is a good idea to take a guided tour of the museum so you can get a good experience from this enormous place.



 The Louvre can be accessed through the Paris Metro at the Palais-Royal–Musée stop
 (Lines 7 (pink) and 1 (yellow)
 and buses  21, 24, 27, 39, 48, 68, 69, 72, 81, 95 stop outside the Pyramid).
 There is also a nearby stop for the Batobus. There is an underground carpark near The museum is open every day except Tuesday and the following French holidays: December 25, January 1, and May 1. 
Opening hours Monday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday: from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 
Wednesday, Friday: from 9 a.m. to 9:45 p.m. Closed on Tuesdays 
Rooms begin closing 30 minutes before museum closing time.

Entrances to the museum - Pyramid and Galerie du Carrousel entrances: open every day (except Tuesday) from 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays; and from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

One thing to remember...
 to be safe, stay alert The Louvre is a popular museum that draws large crowds. 
Regrettably, it is not immune to incidents of petty crime.
 Pickpockets – street hawkers – 
The Louvre takes daily action to keep you informed and provide pleasant visiting conditions. 
However, your vigilance is essential throughout your time at the museum. 

For your safety, here are a few rules to follow: Do not buy anything from hawkers at the entrances to the museum or in the queues
 (bottles of water, umbrellas, souvenirs, etc.) Keep an eye on your personal belongings and keep your bags closed .
