The Louvre is more than just the Big Three | Quick Tour Route.

In addition to the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Venus de Milo, the Louvre has many other world-class masterpieces worth admiring. There are so many collections here that it would take a year to see them all, and the Louvre itself is an architectural treasure. 🔹Visiting Information The Louvre opens at 9 am, and it is recommended to arrive at the entrance 30 minutes before opening. 1. Louvre underground mall entrance 2. Lion Gate entrance. I entered through 1, and although there were already some people in line when I arrived, the entry speed was very fast. The inverted pyramid is also here, and those who have seen The Da Vinci Code will understand! 🔹Big Three Tour Route Enter the Denon Wing from the underground mall entrance, go upstairs on the right, and walk for 5 minutes to the Winged Victory of Samothrace (go up the stairs and turn right into the Grand Gallery) ➡️ Mona Lisa (small door on the right side of the Grand Gallery) ➡️ Venus de Milo (go back downstairs) The Big Three are indeed very impressive, especially the moment you climb the steps of the Winged Victory of Samothrace. I really admire the Louvre's exhibition layout. 🔹Highlights 👉Caryatids Hall: Once a royal ballroom, four Greek goddesses support the small balcony on the second floor, where musicians played. The goddesses' braided hair is clearly visible, a testament to the exquisite carving craftsmanship. 👉Sargon II's Khorsabad Hall: Sculptures of the Assyrian Empire's city gates, with human heads, lion bodies, and bull hooves, featuring the typical curly beards of the Assyrians. The statues present different angles from the front and side. I find it hard to believe they were created in 722 BC. 👉The Coronation of Napoleon: Over a hundred figures in the painting, with details so intricate it's almost terrifying, like a human camera of the time. 👉Liberty Leading the People: No need to say much about this painting, as everyone is familiar with it after a certain event. 👉The Wedding at Cana: The largest painting in the Louvre, located opposite the Mona Lisa. Don't just look at the Mona Lisa; turn around and discover another beautiful painting! 📷Louvre Square The Louvre was originally a fortress and later used as a royal palace for hundreds of years. The building's facade is worth seeing. The glass pyramid designed by I.M. Pei creates a wide view of the Louvre Square, a perfect blend of historical and modern architecture.
