Louvre Museum
“Keep good company: that is, go to the Louvre”,
Cezanne
The Louvre is the biggest museum in the world, covering 4000 years of history with over 35.000 exposed works of art, and finding your way through it is almost like getting out of a maze. First open as a museum during the French Revolution, its collections inspire today more than 9 million visitors per year. Let me guide you through!
Duration of the visit: 2:30 hours
Recommended time: early in the morning or three hours before closing time, that way the Mona Lisa room is less crowded
Group size: 6 people maximum
About the tour
We will start with an architectural walk to discover the origins of the museum as a castle. Then we will focus on Greek Art and how it created the canon of Western beauty. Afterwards, we’ll enter the Great Gallery with its magnificent collection of Italian and French paintings.
You will know everything about Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic Mona Lisa, and also about other painters such as Rafael, Caravaggio or Delacroix. The visit will end with Eros and Psyche, a beautiful sculpture filled with sensuality that triggers a Stendhal syndrome for more than one.
Seeing art is not the same as knowing art. Let yourself be carried away on this visit to the Louvre and learn while enjoying yourself, focusing your attention on the beauty of the works instead of on the museum map. Come back from Paris with a memory that will last forever.
