Paris - Visit Louvre Museum
After a few days without activity to return to this article on the Louvre in Paris. I will not say anything that you may know already from the Louvre, but if I am going to explain how it was my visit to this museum.
I must say I was very excited to visit this museum, you know that the museum has a rich history in fact has gone through many transformations. Initially it was a medieval fortress and the successive rulers of France were giving him some "style bathrooms" that have led to the last renovation in 1980 approximately, which is how we know it. This remodeling leave most visible as the main entrance to the museum, which is the famous glass pyramid Ieoh Ming Pei and opened in 1989.

I admit I was very impatient to see the pyramid, the game of innuendo about the "Holy Grail", the book "The Da Vinci Code" and visit the sites where the action. But in the end I saw nothing strange in the pyramid, it will be because it's all fiction ....
But come the "grain", the first thing you do when you decide to take a visit to this museum, and in general to any museum in Paris, is thinking about whether or not you acquire the "Paris Museum Pass. This pass will allow you access to some 60 museums and monuments in Paris, the most significant. It is sold in the museums themselves, at Fnac, and other outlets that you see on the link "Paris Museum Pass. It exists in versions 1,3,5 consecutive days, and believe me if you acquire the 5 days you will not have time to see everything the list is incredible, even if only going to see this museum is not worth it, you decide.

The second thing you have to take intoaccount is like coming to the museum, my advice is to use the subway as the Line 1 has a specific stop at the museum. Getting to the museum by subway, discover a museum admission not wait, and besides you will avoid the queues at the main entrance of the pyramid.
Once inside the museum, you have plantearte as you want to see the museum and how much time. That is, if you are someone who wants to see everything and see all the rooms, with one day not have enough so you'll have to go back. But if you want to find out who is the museum, understanding and most important visit, I recommend you rent an audio guide, for several reasons. The first is that you can choose several routes, and one of them is a museum tour and his most important works about 45 minutes. On this visit, spanning from the medieval foundations of the museum, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and finally the Mona Lisa. Although the audio guide indicates that the visit is 45 minutes, we took an hour and half, calmly and unhurriedly.
Of all the works in the museum is the best known is "Mona Lisa or La Gioconda" by Leonardo Da Vinci. And indeed it is incredible, since no room meets so many people, and if a sample:

Another room worth visiting is the Apollo Gallery, decorated by Le Brun (decorator usual at Versailles). In this gallery are the crown jewels of France worth seeing.
