Musée du Louvre > Reviews

Advantages: Good collection, interesting pyramid / palace combo for the structure
Disadvantages: Entrance fees, and the other visitore

Perceived by many to be home to one of the best art collections in the world, I would describe the Louvre as, well, not bad. Maybe that’s a little unfair – they certainly had some magnificent pieces on display, but the setting for these, when compared to some of the other galleries in the rest of Europe and America that I’d been to this year lacked a certain, something. That special je ne sais quoi (no objections - since we’re ... Read review

Advantages: beautiful
Disadvantages: hot

Paris on a budget - The Louvre. If you are unfamiliar with the story so far, myself and my good lady wife were fortunate enough to be able to go for a holiday in Paris this summer. We are, however, not the wealthiest of sorts. That meant we had to work within a strict budget, yet we did not want to miss out on the culture and flair of the capital. Having previously done reviews on a really excellent little hotel called the hotel londres et anvers, ... Read review

Advantages: Art
Disadvantages: Queue

The Musee du Louvre is an unmissable excursion for any one staying in Paris. It is basically a huge museum and art gallery in the centre of town. It is easy reachable by bus or on foot and even has its own Metro station, the station itself is worth a look (the poshest Metro station I have ever seen, with museum type displays along the walls). On one side of the Louvre is the busy shopping street of rue de Rivoli and on the other is the Seine, flowing ... Read review

Advantages: Value for money, Polite staff, Brilliant Place
Disadvantages: Takes long to view all of the museum

If you like art, achitecture and a good time the Louvre is the place for you. I went to the Louvre last August, it was very affordable, at only F25 per person, if you go in the first half of the day. Then of course you can stay as long as you want. On wednesday they stay open late into the evening, and provides the best value for money, as you need a whole day at least just to see every thing. The museum is very modern with an amazing glass pyramid, ... Read review

Advantages: Huge collection of art pieces and drawings
Disadvantages: none

Musee du Louvre is an art piece by itself, besides the thousands and thousands of art pieces and drawings it stores. The entrance of pyramid is spectacular. Inside, there are so many sections of art display, be it egyptian, chinese, ancient art, modern art. Paintings, drawings, sculptures, pottery, whatever I can think of, are in this museum. The most popular of all is the Leornado di Vinci's Monalisa. To my amusement, it is being framed up and bordered ... Read review

Advantages: grand architecture and truly spectacular exhibitions
Disadvantages: can be quite crowded, impossible to finish in one day

it is impossible to describe the sheer splendour of the musee louvre. with the da vinci code, this structure has achieved cult-like status (no pun intended) around the world! first up, the exterior of the louvre. it is simply one of the largest and most breathtaking buildings. i would probably rank it as the most magnificient structure in paris, even ahead of the eiffel. the glass triangle dome makes it super unique and a picture with it would ...
