Louvre Museum

Once upon a time, the Louvre was a place to contemplate some of the masterpieces of Western art with a reasonable degree of tranquility. Now, it’s a theme park with designated must-have selfie stops where no one really settles long enough to appreciate anything, and viewing the paintings and sculptures themselves often means shouldering through throngs of headset-wearing gawkers. At peak times (which is nearly always), the corridors resound with shopping mall clamor. I spent nearly a year in Paris in 2022 and visited this museum precisely once, and then only to view a specialty exhibition at a gallery far removed from the usual traffic. Even then, the process of entering and exiting through — guess what? a street-level shopping mall, proved mildly soul-destroying.

Many people say it’s overrated, I mean, it’s a museum, what are u expecting from it. Anyway a perfect place for you to enjoy classical art and I recommend you to spend a whole morning before lunch for it(it has a lot of stuff). Usually it will get crowded really soon. (better to go there in the morning, and remember you can get in form another gate that is less crowded if you already have a ticket.)

Love it! My tour guide are very helpful and friendly thank you for taking us to go see the painting of mona lisa it is a popular potrait painting no wonder why there is so many heavy crowdy just to go see one painting 😅, couldnt done it without my tour guide thanks again, also It was very nice that i get to know and understanding about the art history. I really enjoy listening to my tour guide 😊 Anyway thanks again. I will definitely come back see the art museum again😊

I went to the 9 am slot on the Monday and queued at 8 am which I really recommend .I was 8th in the queue and there was no more than 20 people looking at the Mona Lisa when I arrived. When I came out at 12 pm there were hundreds in queues in all directions to the main entrances to the Louvre which would be an absolute nightmare. Maybe some people don’t mind queuing for hours – I don’t know.

Superb museum – Just a bit irritating people taking selfies everywhere and not enjoying the art. Fantastic to view The Mona Lisa. Queues still long even with a ticket bought in advance. Would go back to see the parts we didn’t get to see.
