The Louvre: The World's Most Famous Art Museum

The Louvre is the most famous art museum in the world. Completed in 1674 under the Sun King, Louis XIV, it is also one of the largest royal palaces ever to have been built, which now houses the world's largest and most astonishing art collection.
To suggest that the Louvre is Paris' foremost attraction is to state the obvious, for no visit to Paris would be complete without a visit to the Louvre. For more on the Louvre and its galleries, see below, and for hours, admission fees, etc., see here.
