Get your entrance ticket to the Louvre Museum in Paris and see artistic masterpieces such as Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and ancient Egyptian relics, along with paintings from the 13th to 20th centuries.
The museum first opened on August 10, 1793, exhibiting just 537 paintings. Despite closing in 1796 due to structural problems, it reopened in 1801 as the Musée Napoléon with a larger collection. The collection has since gained 20,000 works. Now, there are 8 departments: Egyptian Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculpture; Decorative Arts; Paintings; and Prints and Drawings.
