The Louvre is locaded in Palais Royale, Musée du Louvre, 75001, Paris (Royal Palace of the Louvre, 75001, Paris). Its name give us some information about this museum past: of course, it was the palace of french royal family before the Revolution of 1789.

It opened as a museum in 1792, and open from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 am. and 21:00 pm, and tickets aren't cheap at all, one ticket cost 11€ per person. That means one family with two children may pay 44€ for entering there! That is very expensive.

But, apart of everything Louvre's collection is one of the most important in the world,. and have paintings and sculptures from Ancient Egypt until the Impresionism in a lot of different rooms, each one of at least fifty square meters!

The most important works are the following ones:
The Giocconda (Mona Lisa) painted by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century, and is the only painting that is inside a blinded capsule.
