Amazing experience at Louvre Museum!
Musée du Louvre is undoubtedly a must-visit attraction while in Paris! We entered the museum very quickly and smoothly, which allowed our family to enjoy the experience with fresh legs since we didn't have to wait in a long line. Louvre is such a large museum, so we highly recommend you take your time and enjoy everything!
Good value for money!
With this entrance ticket, we were able to avoid crowds and get inside the museum really quickly. For me, the main highlight was the sculpture representing The Winged Victory of Samothrace, so make sure to see it while visiting. All the other artworks were beautiful too. Definitely worth visiting!

On August 10, 1793, the Louvre Museum opened its doors with just 537 paintings on display. Despite closing in 1796 due to structural issues, it reopened as the Musée Napoleon in 1801 with a larger collection.
The collection has gained 20,000 works since then. Now, there are eight departments in total, including the Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities. Just a short walk away, the Musée d’Orsay picks up where the Louvre leaves off, with over 3,000 artworks from the 1800s and early 1900s, so it’s a good idea to book one of the Orsay Museum tours or get your Orsay tickets in advance to round out your Paris art experience.
