Louvre Museum

Louvre museum which is absolutely indispensable spot for sightseeing in Paris.
The Louvre Museum was originally built as a fortress in the 12th century, and then it was used as a royal palace in the days of François I.
However, when the royal palace moved to the Palace of Versailles in the days of Louis XIV, it was used as a place to hold the royal collection and in fact it opened in 1793 as a Louvre museum.
The Louvre museum has extraordinarily many collections of works of art, but it features not only a large number but also a number of artists who are not familiar with art.
The 1st place is the world's most famous art piece "Mona Lisa" no matter what.
Many tourists aimed at "Mona Lisa" are in the hall of the huge Louvre museum, but signs of routes to "Mona Lisa" are listed, so they can go without hesitation.
However, the exhibition room of "Mona Lisa" can overflow with so many people that there are many rows and can take pictures, but I can not shoot without moving forward.
Besides "Mona Lisa", works known also by common people such as "coronation ceremony of Napoleon", "Nike of Samothrace", "Venus of Milo" are displayed.
The entrance to the Louvre is commonly entered from the glass-lined pyramid on the ground, but it is quite crowded here.
Especially recommended queue to queue people waiting queue under the scorching sun, entrance of underground.
I can go to the entrance of the basement smoothly from the subway, compared with the ground, so it is recommended not to wait in the scorching sun.
Since it will take 2-3 days to think of seeing the entire Louvre museum in a large site, let's narrow down what you want to see to some extent!
