Museo del Louvre con audioguida - Biglietti d'ingresso

Let's first clear a doubt , Louvre is not only the pyramid but the whole surrounding palace, in fact the museum is placed in the palace surrounding it. it's world's largest art museum. Lot of sculptures and paintings are there to see including Mona Lisa/ La Jaconde ( I personally felt it's very hyped as we have to get in a 30-45 mins line( on weekend) and then we get to see the paining in a small box, trust me the museum has far beautiful works but unfortunately they are not famous. As compared to the size of Mona Lisa there are half wall length painting also. Paintings of Rubens, Rambrandt, Van ghog , Van Dyck. PLEASE DO TAKE AN AUDIO GUIDE WITHOUT IT YOU ARE LOST IN THE MUSEUM. It has a 3D map with audio commentary not to everything but the main "shows" in Louvre. With this Nintendo tech you can not get lost and can get the most out of the museum. In the sully part in room number 136 the whole model of the palace is kept to show the rooms and various parts of the palace which is a good part to see. To collect the audio guide you need to deposit the id card. The sculptures were breathtaking. Each having a story to tell. The museum houses Egyptian antiquities , Eastern antiquities, Greek , Roman and Islamic art . These are which we could from there holding the tip of the pyramid or holding the pyramid in my hand.

The Louvre is world famous and a 'must see'. It is recommended that tickets are bought in advance to avoid the large queue for the tickets. We reached at 0930 and spent close to six and a half hours there. The entry is made from the 'pyramid', the main entrance. It is unmistakable: a glass pyramid. The origin of the Louvre dates back to 1200s. Once a royal residence, it became a museum in 1793 during the French revolution and now holds works from the 7th millennium BCE to the 1850s. The collections are displayed on 5 levels (levels -2 to 2 through 0) in 3 wings, Richelieu, Sully and Denon. Originally the 3 wings are supposed to be interconnected, however, due to the absolutely astonishing craze for the Mona Lisa which was shifted from Room 711 in the Denon wing to a different room in Richelieu (level 2), certain rooms in the Sully wing were blocked preventing access to Richelieu wing. The audio guide (Nintendo 3DS) worth it. These are collected on Level -1 against a deposit of an ID card. Passports are not accepted; credit cards are. It takes a little while to get used to it, but thereafter it is a superb guide, giving information on the artworks and sculptures that are deemed important in each room. It is recommended that you get to know right away where the Mona Lisa is and see that first. We made this mistake and then had to stand in serpentine queues which inched its way from Level -2 (reception) via the Richelieu entrance to the +2 level. This queue is very tightly regulated and one gets about 30 secs or so before the Mona Lisa to take photographs/ selfies before getting shooed off. The museum map is handy and gives information on the important works in each wing. The Pavillion de l'Horloge is notable. da Vinci's works (other than the Mona Lisa) are in Denon. Some other famous works are 'the Venus de Milo', 'the winged victory of Samothrace' and the French crown jewels. We found the Denon wing the most interesting with its sculptures, Roman and Greek antiquities and paintings of Italy, Spain, GB and US. It becomes more and more crowded as the day goes along. One would require numerous visits to see all the attractions and we would love to visit again. Paristick helped me a lot with buying the ticket for the entrance and also for the audio guide. Otherwise, I don't know how could I see this much. Thank you for my time!

One would expect the world's most visited museum to be good, and it didn't disappoint. The breadth of exhibitions, countries and periods on display is huge, you'd probably need an entire day to properly see everything there. A tour might be a good idea, so that the highlights can be picked out in a shorter amount of time. The audio guides were very high tech with a map built in, can recommend it! The facilities are quite average though, the cafe isn't ridiculously priced, but the toilets lack the same cleanliness of the rest of the museum. Overall, I can recommend anyone in Paris to go, as some things are just truly spectacular.
