The Louvre: a temple of art
From a medieval fortress to a royal residence, the Louvre Palace was transformed into a museum by the French Revolution, opening it to the people and democratizing art. It is now the most visited museum in the world. Its painting collection is a living encyclopedia, bringing together works from all eras and schools, from the Italian Renaissance to French Romanticism.
