Paris - Musee du Louvre (2024)

The Louvre Museum is, arguably, the greatest and most famous art museum in the World. It's sheer size makes it impossible to view the entire collection in one visit. Nonetheless, here are some highlights.

The most famous painting in the World, perhaps unfairly to all the other great works, Da Vinci's included.
