I always wondered how the most famous work of an Italian painter was exhibited in the Louvre Museum in Paris and not in Italy. House of Leonardo da Vinci – Clos Lucé While preparing my article, I learned that Leonardo da Vinci came to France in 1516 upon the invitation of the French King François I. Amboise'On Château du Clos Lucé – Castle of Clos LuceHe settled in , and when he came to France, one of the three paintings in his bag was Mona Lisa - La Joconde. Well If Francis I had not invited Leonardo da Vinci to France as the chief painter, architect and engineer of the kingdom, the Mona Lisa painting would not be in the Louvre Museum....

However, I recommend that you do not focus only on the Mona Lisa, but also spend a lot of time on other magnificent works. There are perhaps even more magnificent works waiting for you to discover in the Louvre Museum. It is especially enjoyable to look at the facial expressions of the crowd when you look back after approaching the Mona Lisa. The giant right behindLes Noce de Cana – Wedding in CanaYou should not ignore the table. Also, there are my favorite paintings in the hall that you will reach by going to the back of the Mona Lisa. French Painters There is a section… The photos I took in front of the giant paintings in this article are from that hall…

Especially the Louvre Museum Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greek sections are impressive. Each chapter is the subject of a separate article, believe me, I don't know how to put it together... My Another part that I can't get enough of is the Italian Renaissance. A large gallery with paintings from the period.

And also French sculptures on display It is possible to see beautiful works of art in two courtyards that were later covered. Which one can I praise? All sections of the museum are worth visiting separately.

Even if you are in Paris for a short time and do not have time to visit the museum, you will somehow find your way here, because the fact that the museum was actually built as a palace will impress you with all its magnificence even when you look at it from the outside. In fact, if you are one of those who think that the Ottoman sultans lived in luxury and debauchery, you should visit this palace (and of course also Château de Versailles – Palace of VersaillesAfter seeing it, you may think that the Ottoman sultans did not live in such pomp. However, the Louvre Museum does not have a Bosphorus view of course 😉

One of my favorite things about the Louvre Museum, or more precisely about many museums in France, is that many artists, young and old, sit in front of the paintings and sculptures in these museums and paint. When I see someone painting like this, I love to watch from afar and sometimes even dare to examine it closely.

Also, when visiting museums in France, you come across school groups, but it is not as if these children were forced into the museum. Museums are shown around in a more entertaining format. An animator, who tells historical subjects, sometimes disguises himself as a king, sometimes as a warrior, and sometimes as an artist, and tells them the history of the museum or the works they see. This is how the love of art is instilled in children; A society becomes cultured in this way; The tree bends when it is old...

    Dear Mr. Ahmet, I'm glad to have you. Thanks to you, we can visit Paris before coming to Paris, and without leaving our home. ❤️❤️❤️

  2. Bonjour, we even made our route to the Louvre in the light of your information, we are glad to have you, thank you for your pen and camera. Best Regards, Eda

    Hello,

    I both watched the videos and read your article. I also printed out the sketch from the internet. I marked the places I wanted to see. I am also curious about Ancient Egyptian and Greek works. I can say that I created my Louvre route by combining it with your suggestions. Let's see if it goes as I planned. But even if it doesn't go as planned, I'm sure I'll enjoy everything I see. I will be sharing my comments after I go and see it :)

      Hello Ms. Pınar,
      I hope you have an unforgettable Louvre experience.
      I wish you happy days and good weeks.

  4. Hello Ahmed,
    Based on your articles, we bought a Paris Museum pass and saw 7 places in two days. We made a reservation on the Louvre's website and got inside within seconds. Of course, if we don't count the queue for Mona Lisa, we can say that we didn't wait at all.

      Thank you very much, Ms. Bensu, for sharing your experience with us…

    Hello,
    We visited the Louvre on October 24, of course we read this article first. We did not buy tickets in advance and waited in line for about 1 hour. The queue for those who bought tickets online was quite long, and we were not sorry at all because we did not buy tickets in advance. There was no photo or video we didn't take during that hour we waited, it was so beautiful.

    • Ahmet Ore Reply

      Hello Ms. Dilara,
      Your comment will be informative for those who are hesitant about buying online tickets or not. Because waiting in line at the museum is completely a matter of luck, thanks to you, we have seen this once again.
      Thank you.

    Hello Mr. Ahmet, what is the difference between the temporary delacroix exhibition that is currently on sale and the individual?

    • Ahmet Ore Reply

      Hello,
      “Individual” is the normal Louvre Museum ticket, separate tickets are purchased for the Delacroix exhibition, but when I looked, they both seem to be the same price. It may be possible to enter the Delacroix exhibition with a normal ticket, but I'm not sure. In order not to take any risks, it is better to buy a Delacroix ticket, because that ticket also includes the Louvre visit.
      Happy Days.

  7. It's a really beautiful museum, but it gives people art poisoning. I think you need to go out and get fresh air from time to time, (education is a must) people are not used to it, as you know :))))

    • Ahmet Ore Reply

      Your body may not be able to handle excessive beauty after a while, it's not due to anything else, rest assured :)

  8. Greetings,

    As Mr. Ahmet stated, it is very advantageous to enter through the doors outside the pyramid. We went on a Friday evening in August. There was no one in the vending machines. Since it was open until late, we walked around comfortably. We even got lost and found ourselves at the exit. We were able to leave and enter from the other entrance with the same tickets.

  9. Hello, I have a daughter. I bought my online ticket dated June 23 for myself. Do I need to buy a ticket for my daughter as well (she is 16 years old) and will she wait in the queue when we get there or will she show her passport with me and pass?

    • Hello,
      The Louvre Museum is free for anyone under 18, so you don't need to buy a ticket for your daughter. If they ask, it is enough to show an ID such as a passport etc.
      Have a nice holiday in advance…

  10. Hello Mr. Ahmed. I have been busy reading your blog page by page for a few days. Thank you, it is really very useful.
    On the museum's page, the earliest ticket is at 11.00:09.00 on the date we want to visit. If we don't buy the ticket online but want to buy it from the vending machines there, will we have the chance to buy it at XNUMX on the same day? Also, do tickets purchased online have the advantage of not having to wait in a queue?
    Thank you in advance.

    • Hello,
      First of all, thank you very much for your comment.
      Of course, you can buy your ticket from the vending machines when you arrive at the Louvre. After the renovation works in the Louvre, many vending machines were put into operation, there are relatively fewer queues, but the problem for you is that the museum opens at 9 in the morning and the length of the entrance queue may be long or short depending on your luck. After the first entrance, you reach the museum vending machines and buy tickets from the vending machines, I estimate that your entry time to the museum will be 09:30 at best. I recommend you pay attention to this detail when making your program.
      In short, yes, you can buy your ticket from the vending machines and enter immediately…
      It's good that you reminded me of this detail while I was shooting a vlog about the Louvre Museum today. Let me talk about this issue in the video so that it will be useful for everyone...
      Have a nice holiday in advance.

    • thanks for your answer. We are waiting for more of your videos :)

  11. Good day Mr. Ahmet,
    Is the Louvre museum free for everyone under 18 or only for EU citizens?

    • Hello,
      The Louvre Museum is free for everyone under 18.

      It is also free for EU citizens aged 18-25 and those with an EU residence card.

      Happy Days.

    • Thank you, but is the online ticket price the same as the ticket price we buy from the box office?

    • You're welcome The ticket price does not change, buying tickets online gives you priority entry. Happy Days…

  12. I had a quick question about the museum's bookstore: Unfortunately, I couldn't stop by the bookstore because I was so tired after spending 8 hours in the Louvre last year. I may not be able to muster up the courage and energy to visit the Louvre again this time, but I definitely want to go to the bookstore. I remember the bookstore as if it was before the entrance to the museum, am I remembering correctly? I saw it said "accès libre" on the internet, but since I know you are a book lover, I thought I'd ask you as well :)

    • Hello Ms. Burcu,
      Since I was on holiday outside Paris last week, I can only reply to your message, please excuse me.
      Yes, as you said, it is free to enter the bookstore and souvenir sections of the Louvre Museum, since it is before the museum entrance, you can easily enter.
      Have a nice holiday in advance.

    • What's wrong sir, I hope you had a nice holiday :)

      So, I'm adding a few hours at the Louvre's bookstore to my holiday schedule. Thank you very much for your answer!

  13. Hello again, Mr. Ahmet, I am Fatih Alpay. I have a question for you again. We want to enter the Louvre Museum, but since we have limited time, there is a queue problem. I read somewhere that you can buy the ticket in advance from Fnac or Virgin Store's sites and then when you go there, it is printed and you can enter immediately without waiting in line. The Fnac website (www.fnactickets.com) I have reached the point where I can become a member and buy tickets, but I could not understand whether the tickets purchased should be for a later date or can be given on the same day. For example, we are in Paris on June 25, if I buy the ticket online today or tomorrow and print it from the store when I get there, it will be open until 21 on Wednesday or Friday without waiting in line. Can I log in? If we skip the queue, we will have some time to travel. I would be very happy if you could reply to this question. Regards and love.
    Fatih Alpay

  14. hello Mr. Fatih
    The biggest problem when entering the Louvre is the length of the security queue. If you enter from the glass pyramid, there is usually a long queue, but if you enter from the carrousel side and pass through the lower gallery to the other entrance, there may be less queue, it is pure luck. So, even if you have a pre-purchased ticket, you have to enter these security queues.
    I recommend you buy your tickets from the vending machines at the museum entrance rather than purchasing them online. So, after passing through security, there are plenty of vending machines around the box office. To tell the truth, I have never needed an online ticket, I have always bought it from vending machines without any problems, believe me, it will be more practical this way.
    respects

      Hello, I am one of those who wanted to go to the Musée de Louvre but could not go there. Even though I live in Paris, I wonder how the ticket prices and hours are for students. Is it crowded like Sacré Cœur or Château de Versailles or is it quieter? Thank you in advance for your answer.

      • Ahmet Ore Reply

        Hello,
        The Louvre Museum is free for all European Union citizens under 26 years of age and those with a European Union residence permit. You can see current ticket prices by selecting a date from this link: https://www.ticketlouvre.fr/louvre/b2c/index.cfm/calendar/eventCode/MusWeb
        Since it is one of the most visited museums in the world, whether it is crowded or not is entirely up to your luck.
        The museum is closed on Tuesdays and opens at 09:00 on other days. It normally closes at 18:00, but is open until 21:45 on Wednesday and Friday nights.
        Happy Days.
