| Summary |
Featuring a brief history of the building and museum, The Louvre also includes detailed sketches about the furniture, paintings, potteries and sculptures found in the building's most famous wings. Officially the Louvre Museum, The Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world. A historic monument, the building is the central landmark of Paris and holds nearly 40,000 objects for the viewing pleasure of over eight million visitors each year. Built as a fortress in the late 12th century for Philip II, the building was expanded dozens of times to form the present Louvre Palace. The official museum finally opened on August 10, 1793 and has been a popular attraction ever since. |
