You step through a glass pyramid into a cool hall where stone faces and painted eyes meet you at every turn. The Louvre's rooms unfold like chapters in a storybook — marble staircases that once served kings, vaulted ceilings that still hold courtly echoes, and corridors where guides pull children into playful puzzles about gods, queens, and the odd stolen smile.

History
The Louvre began as Philippe Auguste's 12th‑century fortress, later a royal palace; public museum status was cemented after the French Revolution.
Conservation
The museum limits flash photography and enforces distance for delicate objects; large visitor numbers strain climate control systems, so guided groups help manage flow and reduce wear.
