Facts
The Louvre was originally built as a fortress in 1190, but later reconstructed to be a royal palace in the 16th century before the monarchy moved out to Château de Versailles.
The first ‘Louvre Museum’ opened in 1793, during the French Revolution, with a collection of only 537 paintings.
Napoléon decided to rename the Louvre Musée Napoléon under his reign and increased the collection (although after his defeat, many pieces were returned to their owners!)
Since being stolen in 1911, the famous – and enigmatic – Mona Lisa portrait is framed and covered with bulletproof glass and protected by guards at all times (don’t worry, it was returned in 1913).
What's included
Enjoy awe-inspiring, world-famous artworks like the Mona Lisa and marvel at glorious sculptures including Venus de Milo.
