General Description
About the Louvre Museum
The Louvre Museum, located in the heart of Paris, is the most visited art museum in the world and one of the most important international cultural centers. Housed in a former royal palace that was the residence of French monarchs since the Middle Ages, it opened its doors as a public museum in 1793 after the French Revolution. It currently houses more than 35,000 works ranging from ancient civilizations to the art of the nineteenth century.

The audioguide tour allows you to walk through the museum in complete freedom, offering clear explanations of its most outstanding works. Among them are the famous Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the majestic Victory of Samothrace and the classic Venus de Milo. The tour also allows visitors to discover less-traveled galleries, providing a personalized cultural experience enriched with historical data and curiosities about the pieces on display.
