Night at the Museum: The Most Visited Museums
| August 14, 2017
2. Musee du Louvre – Paris, France
The Musee du Louvre in Paris, which was founded in 1793, is one of the most spectacular museums in the world. Its original building houses one of the most famous paintings ever created — Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. It’s one of the world’s largest museums, and also one of the most visited. It’s estimated that nine million visitors pass through its gates every year.
Although it houses plenty of international art and antiquities, its most famous exhibitions are of European painters, including Durer, Delacroix, and of course, da Vinci. Make sure not to miss the inner courtyard, where I. M. Pei’s glass pyramids reside.
