Louvre Museum

Musée du Louvre

The Louvre is a major art museum housed in a historic palace in the centre of Paris, with permanent collections and temporary exhibitions.

Why go

The Louvre Museum is an art museum in a historic palace in central Paris, with permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. The museum's own visit page lists four entrances: the Pyramid, the Carrousel entrance, the Porte des Lions and the Passage Richelieu, the last reserved for groups and members, and it recommends booking a time-stamped ticket in advance, including for visitors eligible for free admission. Wikidata keeps the museum (Q19675) apart from the Louvre Palace building that houses it (Q1075988); this record is the museum. Opening days and hours are set by the museum and change, so check its site before you go.
