THE LOUVRE
Few art galleries are as prized or daunting as the Musée du Louvre, Paris'
pièce de résistance that no first-time visitor to the city can resist. This is, after
all, one of the world's largest and most diverse museums. Showcasing 35,000
works of art, it would take nine months to glance at every piece, rendering ad-
vance planning essential.
Works of art from Europe form the permanent exhibition, alongside priceless collections
of Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, Roman and Islamic art and antiquities - a fascinating
presentation of the evolution of Western art up through the mid-19th century.
