What will I see during my visit?
Many travelers associate the Louvre Museum with the Mona Lisa and outside of peering at this infamous painting, they are not sure of what else to visit.
The Louvre Museum is home to over 380,000 artworks which are divided into several collections across art and history.
Paintings
This collection of paintings reflects the general scope of the Louvre Museum, encompassing most European schools from the 13th century up to 1848. The collection is overseen by 12 curators, who are among the most renowned art experts in their field.
Egyptian Antiquities
This department presents art vestiges from the civilizations which developed in the Nile Valley during the late prehistoric era (4000 BC) to the Christian period (4th century AD).
Roman, Etruscan, and Greek Antiquities
The department is home to a collection of amazing artworks representing the Roman, Etruscan, and Greek civilizations.
It spans the period from Neolithic times to the 6th century AD.
Near Eastern Antiquities
This department spans 9,000 years from prehistory to the early Islamic period and encompasses an area from North Africa to Central Asia, and from the Black Sea to the Arabian peninsula. A must see collection!
Sculptures
Opened in 1824 and devoted to “modern” sculpture, the rooms gradually became the Department of Medieval, Renaissance, and Modern Sculpture.
Decorative Arts
The collection of Decorative Arts is home to an extremely varied collection (jewelry, bronzes, ivories, silverware, enamels, stained glass, ceramics and much more). It spans the period from the early Middle Age to the mid 19th century.
Islamic Art
The new collection of Islamic Art opened recently (in 2012). Over 3,000 artworks are on display, spanning 1,300 years of history and three continents, from Spain to Southeast Asia.
Prints and Drawings
One of the Louvre’s eight departments is home to the museum’s extensive collection of prints, drawings, books, woodcuts, pastels, miniatures, manuscripts, autograph works, copperplates, and lithographic stones.
The Pavillon de l’Horloge
The Pavillon de l’Horloge opened its doors in 2016 to address questions visitors may have about the history of the Louvre. What traces can still be observed from the significant periods of construction of the palace? Which kings used to live there? Why the palace became a museum? It is a great place to visit for the ones who wish to learn more about the Louvre itself.
Wishing you a great visit 🙂
