The Louvre is one of the most famous and most visited museums in the world. Located in the heart of Paris, it houses a vast collection of artworks and historical objects, ranging from antiquity to the 19th century. The museum is housed in a former royal palace, the Palais du Louvre, which was built in the 12th century and expanded over the centuries.

The Louvre Museum has an impressive collection of over 380,000 works of art and historical objects, of which approximately 35,000 are on public display. The collections are organized into eight departments: Oriental Antiquities, Egyptian Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities, Islamic Arts, Paintings, Sculptures, Graphic Arts, and Works of Art.

The Department of Sculpture has a collection of sculptures from antiquity to the Romantic period, including works by Michelangelo, Rodin, and other great masters of sculpture. The Department of Graphic Arts exhibits drawings, prints, photographs, and manuscripts from the Middle Ages to the present. Finally, the Department of Works of Art presents a collection of silverware, ceramics, tapestries, and furniture, ranging from the Middle Ages to the 19th century.
