Paris - Visit Louvre Museum
After a few days without activity, the return to this article on the Louvre museum 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. It was originally a medieval fortress and the successive rulers of France were giving him some "style bathrooms" that led it to the last renovation in 1980 approximately, which is how we know it. This remodeling left more visible as a main entrance to the museum, which is the famous glass pyramid Ieoh Ming Pei and opened in 1989.

I admit I was very anxious 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 is 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 should buy 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, the Fnac and in other outlets that you can check the link for "Paris Museum Pass. It exists in versions 1,3,5 consecutive days, and believe me if you purchase 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 arriving at 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, you'll discover an entrance to the museum you do not expect, and also you will avoid the queues at the main entrance of the pyramid.
Once inside the museum, you have to consider how you want to see the museum, and how much time you have. That is, if you are someone who wants to see everything and see all the rooms, with one day so you'll have enough to go back. But if you want to find out which is the museum, understanding and most important visit, I recommend you rent an audio guide, for several reasons. The first is that you can select multiple pathways, and one of them is a guided tour of the museum and his most important works about 45 minutes. During his visit, journey from the medieval foundations of the museum, the Venus de Milo , the Winged Victory , and finally the Gioconda . Although the audio guide indicates that the visit is 45 minutes, we took an hour and a half, quietly and without hurry.
Of all the works in the museum is the best known is "Mona Lisa or La Gioconda" by Leonardo Da Vinci . And it really 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 common in Versailles). In this gallery are the crown jewels of France worth seeing.
