I suppose The Louvre is second most beautiful architecture in France. Louvre museum probably is one of the largest museums in the world and I always love pyramid design, made of glass, the main entrance of The Louvre. It is originally a simple defensive fortress, it was previously one of the main residences of French Kings long long time ago. And now it is a museum, exhibits Western artworks from the Middle Ages to 1848, as well as the art of the ancient civilizations that preceded and influenced them.
The museum was huge, there have eight curatorial departments, Egyptian Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Islamic Art; Paintings; Sculptures;Decorative Arts; and Prints and Drawings. Even though I didn't really pay attention on every artwork, but it took me hours to spend inside the museum. So be prepare to spare your whole day for it!
And the most famous artwork in the museum, portrait of Mona Lisa.
Stay tune for upcoming post! ;)
