Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - is an old royal palace in France.. where the world-famous Louvre Museum is located, the most important among the landmarks and museums of Paris and unique among European museums, whether in terms of its holdings or its unique and amazing design.

The Louvre houses the largest collection of famous artworks belonging to major international artists, including the Mona Lisa and rare artifacts, numbering more than 30,000 pieces.

The artifacts inside the museum were collected from the palaces of kings, princes, and nobles, some of which were obtained through agreements concluded with the authorities of other countries and cities such as the Vatican and Venice, in addition to many pieces that were seized during wars.

- It will take you many days to visit the museum to see all these exhibits and the wide assortments of works of art inside the Louvre Museum, and a tourist place that requires days to visit must be worth traveling for, so it is better to get a guide for a successful visit.

The museum is distinguished by its large entrance and the glass pyramid that is located at the front of the main entrance and is considered an icon of it and one of the most photographed places among the tourist attractions in Paris.

- Many tourists are keen to enter the museum through the gate of the glass pyramid in order to enjoy seeing the natural light reflections emanating from the 675 glass pieces that decorate the pyramid, and although it is the busiest gate, tourists insist on entering through it.

- Visitors can see the state of the palace in the Middle Ages, through the remnants of the ruins belonging to the old castle and the original foundations of the palace on which the museum was built, such as columns, trenches, and even the King St. Louis Hall, and these things are located in the Sully wing, so do not miss this matter.

- French crown jewelry gives visitors a wonderful glimpse of the wealth during the French royal period, and can be seen in the decorative arts section, the most famous of which is the crown of King Louis XV.

- Did you know? Or rather, do you believe that a large number of visitors to the museum go to it in order to see the Mona Lisa painting only, which is the most famous work of art.
