Musée du Louvre Reviews

It's truly a pleasure to visit the Louvre. I had been some years back and I still feel like I'm there for the very first time. Covering all parts of history, there's almost no way you won't find something you'll be interested in.

One of the famous landmark of Paris. Million art-crafts here. It s worthy to spend a whole day here to appreciate the splendide masterpiece of the all the artist from the old times. But still many people selling souvenirs and asking for questionnaire right out of the louvre museum. Don t forget to take a museum guide map because it really big building and easily get lost for taking hours finding the direction. Better to wear a good shoes for walking within this magnificent museum.

Allow plenty of time to go through each level. There is so much to see, and it is well worth it. A bucket list stop, just be gentle to yourself. Luckily there's a cafe that has many delicious options. Highly Suggest, for all audiences.

it's hard to believe that this is one of the biggest, most famous, and most visited museums in the world but once you're here you realize exactly why it's all of those reasons and more. this is a must stop if you're a tourist and you don't even have to spend a long time here. we came in and got out in about 90+ minutes because of course you do need a bit of time to appreciate the work. i highly suggest you don't get lost because it will happen and keep a close eye to where the exit is while you're walking through the exhibits.

I louvre Paris. It is beautiful and an incredible place to go. You get to learn a lot. About cultures and civilisation etc.

I loved this place. If your are an art lover, this place is a paradise for you. One day is not enough to visit the entire museum. But still you can visit the main attractions including the famous Mona Lisa.
Guided tours and audio guides are available but with an additional price. I would recommend going with a guide as it will give you a very different perspective about the art and the place.
I have a great experience and highly recommend Louvre Museum for someone who is in Paris and have not been to this amazing place.

Beautiful place, a lot of arts and very diverse. The only note to make is that they could have at least english translations at every exhibit. The more popular ones already have explanations in multiple languages, but the lesser known ones do not, which is disappointing. Service however is great and you get in free under a certain age. The wifi is not very good at all places. The temperature is pleasant everywhere for the area. The staff keeps distance during COVID-19, but the tourists do not, the rules could be more inforced.

Amazing iconic world famous museum!! The Louvre is one of the biggest museum in the world with an immense treasures of arts, sculptures and historical heritage!! A wonderful place and museum!! The gardens and building are unique!!

Amazing museum, the expositions are just so complete with thousands of pieces. The permanent and ephemeral expositions are all well thoughts and it is free for any European resident under 26! Pretty good deal

Its a large Museum containing a huge number of sculpture and arts, including Islamic ones. It contains the portrait of Mona Lisa. I loved the place very much. Its a great place to learn for students of art and history.

Absolutely mind-blowing! The architecture, the ambient and of course the masterpieces of art here! I prefer our British History Museum but this is definitely worth a visit when in Paris!

Visit this place. It will take a few days to see most things on display. One day will give you a good overview. The grounds are beautiful and inspiring. This place must be spectacular in the spring and summer.

The Egyptian antiquities are a must.

I have visited Paris many times, and the Louvre is a beautiful museum. It can get very busy so its always advisable to buy tickets online.

Phenomonal size to this museum with so many amazing pieces of artwork. The giant glass pyramid which is basically just to allow secure checks is a sight to see as well. Free to Europeans under 25. Difficult to see everything in the museum within a day.

A stunning museum to explore inside and out, decent price for entry fee and lots of very interesting things to see/ learn a out. Get here early though as it gets busy fast and many people make a B line for the Mona Lisa painting which then becomes very manic to try and see.

Great museum to visit. Mona Lisa painting wasn't as big as I was expecting it to be, but still standing

Great place,its an all day visit, bring comfortable shoes and be ready for LOTS of stairs

Spent a great 6 hours there, but didn't manage to see everything. If you're going to take even a little time in each room and want to see everything you'll be there all day, morning until closing so make sure you prioritise which sections of the museum you want to visit before you go.

I mean it s the Louvre, how can you NOT go?? It is crowded and people will bump into you. There is a line to see certain pieces. Is it worth it? YES. It s a once in a lifetime opportunity to see works of art from around the world. Make sure you go when the Egyptian exhibit is open, we made that mistake the first time.

Go later in the day as the crowds are gone and you feel like your in the movie...Night at The Museum..as nobody is around and nobody is in your way to take pictures. They have a great cafe and the information booth gave us hand written directions to take the $2 euro bus round trip back to our apartment. Buy the museum pass as we did if staying in Paris for a few days.

A must go place in Paris. Louvre is huge and incredible. Definitely should be there in your bucket list of Paris visit. Really worth visiting. World's largest art museum. I would suggest you to book entry pass online if the visit is planned for weekend so that you can avoid large queue over there. We spent around 5 hours inside museum and still couldn't cover the whole parts. Don't expect to get everything done in a day, they provide map brochures in different languages inside museum, you can plan your way around to see what you feel like you need to. Lovely and approachable staffs too.

NB: beware of pickpockets around the attractions as well as in Metro.

The best of the best, spectacular, not enough words to describe my feelings with all this beautiness!!!

It s a wonderful museum! You definitely can t cover all that the Louvre has to offer within a day. It s a 650,000 sq foot palace with over 35,000 pieces of artwork. Instead, make sure you check the main ones if you re looking for an express and immersive visit, to grab the highlights of the Louvre.

A true must see in Paris but it s best to go early or the lines will be LONG.

The Louvre Museum is the Best Art gallery I ever visited. I was there in company of my wife and three kids. I strongly recommend visitation with kids. I will Visit over and over again because of the rich exhibition on display. |The countless Art Gallery is the reason why its the world largest Art Museum and Historic monuments.

One of the most amazing museums I ever been, you can't miss every section in this place.... extremely happy with this visit

I was there in 2017, fantastic museum. In my city there are no such museums. recommended.

Known for arts. Very popular and with mind blowing artifacts from all around the world. Great place to visit

Amazing museum, and cafeteria has delicious pastry.

This is one of the most beautiful spots in all of Paris. From the beautiful glass pyramids to the majestic paintings inside the crazy size of the place. My recommendation is that if you truly love this place you must at least set aside a day for it. Enjoy.

Bought tickets online on the morning of our visit to find the museum closed due to covid-19 upon arrival. Which is fine, but...
1. Why are you still allowing visitors to purchase tickets on your website when you know you are closed? I checked in the afternoon and the website was still selling tickets for that day.
2. No email sent out to visitors advising closure. How hard can that be?
3. Staff standing outside of the entrance charged to explain the situation to visitors were rude and arrogant.
4. Numerous emails requesting refund and patiently waited for 5 months, still haven't heard back. Not even an email.

I can understand things are hard because of Covid-19 but after 5 months, i think this is a matter of incompetence. What a joke coming from an internationally acclaimed museum.

Absolutely in love with this place. It is huge so I would recommend spending a day or two if you really wanna go through everything. wasn t too crowded overall except around the Mona Lisa where it was a stampede. There is something for everyone here, it ranges in different time periods and art forms. It surpasses anything we have in Canada in terms of an art museum.They have cute gift shops all around which is convenient. I came from Canada to visit and got the membership which I would recommend considering it was almost the same price as single admission and the line was shorter.p

The Louvre museum, as an architectural landmark, is one of the highest pinnacles of human engineering, art, and construction. The building is imposing, awesome, and inspiring. The grandeur of it, below ground and above ground, make you feel proud to be a human being. It makes you want to become better. This idea directly reflects the contents of the Louvre - artists, at the height of their careers, all throughout human history, all trying to become better, sharing ideas, stories, and emotions about humans, for other humans to experience. It is an incredible collection that you can get lost in, and can easily be overwhelming. My suggestion: Pick a painting or sculpture that interests you, even just slightly. Stand in front of it. Observe and discuss internally what is going on in the painting. Notice the small things. Then look it up on your phone, and read about the history. Then look at the art some more. I use this process just to become closer to the art, because art and human history cannot be one without the other, and it makes me feel connected. Then, when I share these ideas about any work of art with other humans, I close the circle of the Louvre and the sharing process of art continues. Sharing has been done throughout all of human history, and by coming to the Louvre and experiencing even only a tiny fraction of the art within, you will leave knowing more about humanity and what really brings us together in this world.

The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as the Louvre castle in the late 12th to 13th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to urban expansion, the fortress More

It feels very weird to review the Louvre; because it doesn't need reviews? It's the Louvre. You don't just "stumble" upon the Louvre and wonder what it's like inside. With that said, here are some tips. Buy the tickets online, going in is so much easier and the website that it's the only way to get a guarantee a ticket. Go in the morning (when it opens at 9AM) and on a weekday if you can (It's closed on Tuesdays). Ask yourself, do you really need to wait in a long line to take a photo of the Mona Lisa on your phone? Isn't it good enough to just walk by the lines and get a glimpse? Yes, the Museum is huge and it would take you days to see all the art pieces but there are only so many French paintings your brain can comprehend and distinguish.

Who cares if the Mona Lisa is "small", you GOTTA visit The Louvre no matter what! Just go, it's mind blowing. Wear comfy shoes, you'll be walking for the entire day.

2nd visit. still a lot of people queuing for a glimpse of Mona Lisa. Despite the web notice on covid-19 social distancing, nothing was done within the exhibition halls to remind and ensure visitors' adhere to the requirements for safety reasons.

Why not 5 stars you ask? Maybe its because I find fault it most things haha, but this place is a poorly directed maze, although it was easy enough to find the Mona Lisa (of which there was a huge queue to stand in front of it), probably better to just walk around the queue, you ll still get to see it, unless you re all about that close up selfie life.

Some real nice art work and sculptures, although I m not too much into it, but it was a nice experience so I d recommend going. Getting out was tricky, it takes you into a shopping centre where its pot luck which exit you actually take. Go anyway! ;)

Arrive here early and plan to spend the Whole Day enjoying the varied historic art... I was humbled by the amazing collection of pieces..... Incredible....

The Louvre museum is truly a must see, but don't take a tour that includes this as you will be racing through to see the iconic pieces and miss all the rest. This museum needs to be savoured like a fine wine and may take a few days to see it all. The Mona Lisa as everyone has mentioned is small and the wait is horrific, but if you are like me, it is a must see to say I laid eyes on this masterpiece. I plan on going back to Paris just for more time in this amazing Museum.

The Louvre Museum - The Fortress (circa. 1200s) and various artefacts; plus the world famous painting "The Mona Lisa"; a must visit and experience museum. in the world; but there are long queues all year around, so be patient.

Nice museum, very big but the really famous things are quite close to each other so you should be able to seem them without having to walk to far between each one.

Of all museums in the world Louvre, for me, is the most beautiful collection of arts. Apart from famous "Mona Lisa" and "David" there's a beautiful ancient section with Assyrian sculptures that make you feel like you visit an entire new world. Couple of months there wouldn't be sufficient to even sratch the surface. Place of wonder, outside with it's classical exterior and novel Pyramid to chambers opulent with greatness.

It is a great museum, but personally i wasn't extremely impressed. Maybe because it is huge and in one point it becomes exhausting to go from one side to another to see everything. Living behind that you must to wait on the line to see Mona Lisa and when you get finally to see it is only for a few moments. The only thing i really enjoyed was Napoleon apartment,but again is on the last floor so you must cross all the chambers until there. Minus that when i was there the Da Vinci paintings was in a private exhibition,so basically the only thing i saw was Mona Lisa and the tickets for the private one was sold from one month before. Well was one thing to see in a lifetime,but for sure Louvre is not so OMG how they describing it. At list not for me.

Beautiful place to visit. The famous Mona Lisa remains the attraction. The other sculptures and paintings are the watch. You will have to walk a lot here. Must visit for art lovers. Would take an entire day to cover everything in the museum.

One of the greatest international museums here displays the greatest international artifacts and the greatest artistic paintings that something very beautiful in terms of aesthetics and the location of the museum is distinctive in addition to the style of the very sophisticated staff. As for the interior, on the design side, it is something very imaginative and very beautiful. Coordination and sequencing I advise every visitor to visit this place, the great and beautiful edifice

I don't even need to say how Legendary this Museum is. I mean, its amazing. The Architecture, the artwork, the size...incredible. Worth every penny, worth the long lines.
We went on a Friday night (Valentines Day). They open until 9:30pm. We got there around 4 and just waiting maybe 15 minutes on the line. Not too bad. There is a lot to see. So pace yourself. I definitely want to go back next time I am in Paris.

A beautiful museum. Long lines to get in that went very fast. Lots of room to walk around. Not too crowded in February.

Louvre is love im so amazed and will be back soon

Only downside is that it is too big! Easy to get lost in there. You can use days in there. Had I know it was that big I would have used four days instead of one. One day per floor would cover it nicely. Amazing experience at a very low price. Would love to come visit again.

Amazing artworks, probably one of the best museums in the world. Try to pick a late time since there will be less people. Gioconda is overrated tho

What and incredible place full of history and art that boggles the mind. To see artifacts that biblical Ester might have held or scene. And to walk by painting hundreds of years old and see windows into the minds history. It was truly an awing experience. It was especially wonderful because of COVID the place was mostly empty so my wife and I had the delight of being alone for much of our tour.

You know you re going to go, so just go already! Yes, the lines are insane! Yes, the place is huge and there is no way to experience it all in one day! Yes, the Mona Lisa painting is overrated and a thousand people are taking pictures of it at any given time during the day! Yes, it s pricey! Yes, all of this and more! BUT! You know you re going to go, you re in Paris, so just go, you won t regret it

Excellent cultural museum with outstanding architecture and very recognized paintings. It requires more than a day to see it completely.

It is really an impressive place. The Egyptian collection in the basement is absolutely stunning. My advice: Use the lifts randomly and get lost. No worries. There are always people around to guide you to the exit.

Loved it. Great architecture and great maintenance. Good place for all as well more good for historical be lovers. Must visit if plans Paris trip

Probably maybe the best museum/ gallery I ve been to in my entire life. THERE ARE PAINTINGS, REALLY FAMOUS PAINTINGS, AND OTHER THINGS SUCH AS SCULPTURES.

If you are in Paris and are English, Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish AND you re under 25, you won t get free access to the museum as we have just BREXITED.... WHOOPS! Nevertheless! It is definitely worth whatever the ticket price is! ( 15).

GO!

A very unique museum.
The art leaves you speechless.
Prepare with time,because are a lot of beautiful art and you don't want to miss it.
We will come back for sure

Good place but you need at least 3 hours to visit complete museum. 15 euro per person and kids free entry. But they know that you are there to see "Mona Lisa" so intentionally they will keep you moving throughout entire museum for that one pic. A must visit place

Although it was a Saturday, entrance into the Louvre was quick with not too much queuing. We bought tickets in advance though and I think this helped. The guides are very helpful and there is so much to see you'll probably want to take a whole day to do it.

Nice museum featuring painting, sculptures and elements of decor from various historic epochs. It may take a few hours to go through all exhibits. The museum stays open until 9:45pm on Wednesday and I think it s the best time to visit in the evening as not everybody is aware of extended hours. Plus there are so many places that close at 5pm so this gives an opportune to explore sightseeings longer

France is beautiful yet we will return there for the Christmas atmosphere

Best museum in world. Don't forget to look at outside of building

Budget 4 hours - 1 day for your visit here, not including queue time which can get long. The Mona Lisa has it's own queue which could take 5-15 minutes depending on when you visit. There is simply an incredible amount of art to see here, and inevitably you'll need to make sacrifices for skipping certain areas or going through them really quickly to ensure you can see the most famous works and decide some time towards learning about some of the art. Audio guides cost extra and are done via a Nintendo 3DS which is helpful but not necessary.

Amazing! You can easily spend all day here. I was here for 4 hours and maybe only saw half of the museum. Will definitely have to come back.

Lovely! I have always wanted to visit the lovre museum and I was not really disappointed at all. But you need time to visit it. 2 hours are not enough. Really worth it!

One of the best museums I have ever visited! Registration due to CoVid necessary, but not so troublesome. Not many visitors inside the museum.

Yes it's the Transparent Pyramid, I love transparency I love realness I love beauty and the Louvre houses beautiful jardins, people art, peace love and joy , it's romantic and sweet Mama I danced like an Egyptian

You're going to spend a lot of time at this museum and you should. I recommend giving yourself at least 6 hours at the Louvre. It is easily the best museum that you will visit. You will spend a lot of time outside taking photos before you ever go into the louvre and the area is set up for that. Once inside the museum I appreciate that there is a dining area and you immediately get directions to the Mona Lisa...which by the way is tiny. Reasonably priced for such a great museum. Even if you don't want to pay to get in, the people watching at the Louvre on the outside can be very enjoyable.

Paris is a city of museums and there are alot of museum around the city . Paris city itself is very beautiful and you can walk around in the city. I think Louvre is the best museum of Paris and I recommend to visit only this museum with plenty of time in hand as its very big from inside. Entrance is a little expensive but worth to go if you just go with this Museum.

Very easy to get to, from Eiffel Tower I crossed the bridge and took bus no 72 and it dropped me right outside the Louvre museum. The vibe in the evening is great during summer. This was my 2nd time but only this time I went in Summer and I prefer France a lot better in Summer then Winter

Visiting the Louvre during the covid pandemic is a special feeling. We were all alone in some parts of the museum, and had no queue to see the famous portrait of Mona Lisa. I recommend Napoleon III:s apartment - my favorite part of the museum, no doubt.

So many people say the Louvre is overrated but if you ask me it s one of my favorite museums in the world. Better appreciated if you go more than once if you can.

As an American, I was absolutely treated with respect and reciprocated.... A simple rule with great reward... The Louvre was absolutely amazing and winged victory was the centerpiece of the museum!

I went to visit the museum on a weekend in late November and the line wasn t too bad. I was studying abroad in Madrid and went to visit France for the weekend and stoped by the museum. It was busy but the line moved fast and I got in quick. Make sure to bring your passport with your student visa though because that s the only way you can get in for free. The Art was beautiful however, definitely worth the visit.

An experience of a lifetime! An unparalleled museum with a grand stature. A must-see attraction during your Paris trip. Majestic, multi-million-dollar paintings from the finest artists in the world. Do not miss the grandest of all paintings, the Monalisa, by Leonardo-da-Vinci. There could be long lines during peak tourist season. And make sure you have your tickets pre-booked somehow. Give this museum at least 3-4 hours during peak season. Highly recommended!

A timeless museum to add to any visit to Paris. The Louvre has so many pieces of art, that you would need to spend all day every day for over 100 days to see each piece for just 30 seconds (338,000 objects). Needless to say you could spend an entire day walking around this museum which conveniently has description boards written in French, English, and Spanish at each exhibit. Every Friday, the Louvre is open for free for anybody under 26 from 6-9:45 which is a good thing to add to your trip if you're doing Paris on a budget!

It would take you 76 days, working 24 hours with absolutely no sleep to spend 1 minute looking at every painting in the museum. Incredible place with so much to see. Go in with an objective - make sure you see the main sights and bring a good attitude and a lot of energy and you won t regret going to this amazing location.

If you are there only for photoshoot, night is the best time to go. However, you are there for Museum visit, I recommend you guys to go as early as possible. Earlier will be better or you shall have more time for museum.

Definitely worth a visit if you are in Paris. The museum is humongous and you definitely can't finish the entire place in a day. Among famous paintings like the Mona Lisa are hundreds of interesting sculptures and paintings to immerse yourself in. Very busy and full of tourists though so get your tickets online.

One of the best museums I ve ever visited! The inventory of art in this museum is unparalleled and the historical pieces. I highly recommend visiting this museum to everyone who can appreciate art and history, it will be something you remember for the rest of your life. I will definitely visit again next time I m in Paris.

A great place to see heaps of acquired artefacts from Egypt and Greece and other places. I wonder if anyone from those countries asked for their stuff back . A great place to spend a day wondering about awe inspired contemplating what on earth have I contributed all this time I ve been alive so far . Enjoy oh and don t do what I did and buy a ticket for the wrong day and have to go back again on the day the ticket was valid for.

Amazing mesmerising experience. The art is amazing!!! You could spend days walking through, just admiring it. It is incredible that historic paintings etc. Are able to be preserved for so long and even more amazing to be able to see them for real!!! Definitely add this museum to your wish list, it is well worth it!

We had a great time there at the museum. Amazing to see some of the world s greatest masterpieces. Would highly recommend buying tickets in advance online. Doing this allows you to skip the line getting in. The museum is absolutely huge so give yourself at least 2 hours. If you have less than that, have what you want to see planned out. The Mona Lisa was recently moved away from the other famous paintings. The line for the Mona Lisa was VERY long. It moved fast but it still took us 1:30 hours. The closest you can get to the painting is about 6 feet and the painting is smaller than you would expect. I high recommend downloading Rick Steve s free audio guide app. It was very informative and immersive. The only problem was that the tour had Mona Lisa located in its old location, so keep that in mind.

Simply an iconic place. Come for the Mona Lisa and stay for all of the incredible and impressive artworks from all over the world. Free entrance for children under 18

What a wonderful place. We enjoyed the personalised tour through the organisation Sophie et Ludo.

100% worth the visit. A lot culture can be found inside, can spend days inside. Good advice to avoid the long queue buy tickets in advance.

Amazing and one of the most famous museums in the world. Mona Lisa is much smaller than thinking. Suggest to book ticket online ahead to save time.

It's everything you'd expect and more. You'll definitely do yourself a favor by dedicating a day to just exploring the museum. Everything is a work of art from floor to ceiling. There is a line to see the Mona Lisa but it moves pretty quickly. I will advise to use the restroom inside as the women's restrooms near the entrance have extremely long lines.

For me, visiting the Louvre Museum was the most memorable. I will definitely return to here. And I will with great admiration look at the paintings, exhibits. You just fall into other eras for a while. and it's awesome!

Can't rave enough. Spent six hours and still did not get to see everything I wished I could have. Book a late entry and spend the day at the other free museums that are included with your ticket. The lines clear out as it gets closer to five, but there will not be crowded rooms and you can take your time. Just know it can take 11 to 15 to get to exhibits in other areas just waking to them.

Cannot even begin to describe the Awesomeness! This is at the top of all must-see lists in the world. There is so much art oozing from this place that it would take you a week just to see every room in the Palace.. Let alone look at every piece of art, let alone read about it, or watch on the interactive guide. The place is enormous. So many great statues, painting, sculptures, tapestries.... Most important classical periods represented in the collection with a few priceless works. Say hi to the Mona Lisa... But that room gets very crowded and it can take a hot minute to work your way up to the front. Go early. Enjoy!

Huge and beautiful museum ! Full of astonishing arts and historical pieces to admire.

Be aware you will need hours to visit all galeries of the museum.

The pros:

- Easy access to see the Mona Lisa ( small queue to take photos )

- Free entrance on the first Saturday of each months from 6pm.

- Easy access from the Metropolitan

The cons:

- Very very long queue at the entrance.

- Galleries crowded by visitors ( hard to take nice pictures and admire the arts )

My experience was not the best. We waited in a very long line, in order to get in the museum, for at least an hour. Additionally, the staff was rude, very unhelpful and unprofessional when needed help, and could not fluently speak any other language rather than french. They also charged us for tickets and then we found out that anyone younger than 21 (coming from any country belonging to the EU) has free access to any french museum. It is so sad that a museum like the Louvre, with so many important and beautiful history and art works, to disappoint its visitors in such way.
