Pros: One of a kind contents, gorgeous building
Cons: crowds

The Louvre simply holds too many amazing things. There is not enough time in a week, let alone in a day to absorb all that the Louvre has to offer.

With four huge "wings" of the museum, there really is no way to see the amazing history and...

Pros: Amazing art, history of the world in one building.
Cons: Mona Lisa may be a letdown.

The Louvre is a gigantic building filled with the most art in the world, both stolen and bought by the French Government over the centuries. I say that not to slam the French, which I have no problem with, but to be honest. Over the last few centuries...

Pros: Incredible location
Cons: Tourists

I have only visited the Louvre once, but was very prepared through word-of-mouth what I was about to experience. My wife and I travelled to Paris in August with the full understanding that we were in the middle of the European tourist season; and as...

Pros: one of the best museums in the world
Cons: huge, popular works are crowded

The Louvre is one of the best, and largest, museums in the world. How can you approach such a huge collection of art and history? Here is my strategy:

1) Get there EARLY in the morning, before the big crowds hit. You can take the secret...

Pros: Unreal!!!
Cons: Long Walks on tired feet!!

Bring your Walking Shoes here!!!!!!! The Louvre is bigger than you have heard and will tire the heartiest of travelers in no time at all. This is one of Paris' grandest attractions. Enter through IM Pei's pyramid. (Some call it an eyesore, but i think it...

Pros: there are so many different things to see
Cons: there are so many different things to see and you must appreciate the value of the pieces to enjoy the Louvre

A few weeks ago, I was able to spend two hours in the Louvre. Two hours isn't even enough time for one room let alone the rest of the hundreds of rooms!

Even with the little time we had in the museum, we saw so many interesting and intricate...

Pros: Incredible experience
Cons: Too much to do in one day, can get 'arted' out

I had two day in Paris. Panic! There is so much to do, yet I had very little time, and of course had nothing planned in advance, as this was a last minute addition to my visit to London. I decided to spend a day at the museum. A day? Yes, and I...

Pros: its the Louvre
Cons: crowds

As a self-proclaimed cynic, I embarked on our family European vacation with much skepticism. The epitome of my cynicism was displayed in my view of the Louvre Museum. Mona Lisa behind plate glass?! Ugh. Or so I thought. This Museum is every bit as...

Pros: just incredible
Cons: descriptions are all in French, long lines if you don't get a museum pass

My husband and I visited the Louvre in November 1999. It was one of those places I have always wanted to go, and I was so excited to be there. It was well worth it.

Secret trick for not waiting in line!
A friend who had been there...

Pros: It's hard to write about all there is to see in this most incredible museum
Cons: I'm not there now... Can be crowded during peak times and dates

What can be said about The Louvre that hasn't been said before? That's the question I've pondered while thinking of writing this review and one of the reasons I've waited this long to attempt it. I've been fortunate to have had the pleasure and ...

Pros: great architecture, art, artifacts books
Cons: a little expensive

If you love the works of IM Pei... youll love Musee du Louvre! one of the most fascinating architecture that keeps one of the most admired art the Mona Lisa. This pyramid architecture is one of the most amazing and extra ordinary architecture in the...

Pros: All the art inside.
Cons: The amount of people

The Mus e du Louvre is a really big art museum. It is the museum in Paris, France that houses the famous painting Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci. Some people believe that this painting is a self portrait of himself, just as a woman. Da Vinci was a great...

Pros: the world's museum
Cons: have to make use of your time wisely to cover it

The Louvre is big. No doubt about that. But you can see all the biggies if you do a little advance planning.

Get a guide book that details the highlights of the collection. There are dozens of them that will do. If you have only half a day,...

Pros: the art! the art! the art! and oh yeah--the palace is pretty stunning, if you go for that sort of thing. ;-)
Cons: naturally, it's pretty crowded, and likely to be at any time

I've only been to the Louvre once, but it prompted me to write (on my web site) that it had changed my life. It was during my first trip to Paris (which was during my first trip to Europe), and my friends in Belgium took me to Paris for the weekend. As...
