Musee du Louvre
May 18, 2009
The Louvre. It is the most famous art museum in the whole world. I was so excited about visiting and seeing amazing works of art!
More than eight million people visit each year to see a collection that has been growing since the late 12th Century. Originally the Louvre was a residence for French Kings and Queens. When King Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his main house in 1672, the Louvre was used for many things but it always housed the royal collection of art. The collection grew and grew and now includes some of the most important pieces of art in the world.
Recently the Louvre was made even more famous because the movie The Da Vinci Code was filmed in its galleries.
Some of the famous works of art that are on display include:
Winged Victory
The Mona Lisa
and Monet’s Water Lillies
Be sure to check out my Paris Album on the More Pictures page to see my other amazing photos from the Louvre.
Have an Adventure Every Day!
Affectueusement,
Dewey
P.s. Use a research webpage to find another fact about the Louvre or the name of another piece of art that is part of the Louvre collection. Leave me a comment with the information you found!
