Interior of Museum

Sculptural Art

Visiting the Louvre Museum, you cannot miss take picture with The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) and The Inverted Pyramid (La Pyramide Inversée). The Louvre Pyramid is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. It has become a landmark of the city of Paris. 

Inverted Pyramid

The Inverted Pyramid is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid proper, yet turned upside down: its upturned base                                                                       is easily seen from outside.

The Louvre consists of world-renowned attractions namely the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci.
