Visit to The Louvre museum, Paris #internationatravel #traveljournal #paris

Visit the palace of French kings to admire some of the world's finest art. The Louvre holds many of Western Civilization's most famous masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci and the Vénus de Milo.

A large number of the museum's paintings were owned by the various kings who lived in the Louvre when it was a royal residence, other pieces were acquired through France's treaties with the Vatican and the Venetian Republic

The Louvre's collection includes Egyptian antiques, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, paintings by the Old Masters (notable European artists from before 1800), and crown jewels and other artifacts from French nobles.
