Did you Know this About "Musée du Louvre" - Part 1
Musee du Louvre, is located at the Seine in Paris and makes the second most visited museum after the Palace Museum in China though it still is the largest of all.
Louvre opened its gates to the public in August, 1793. It houses many great paintings from Leonardo’s famous “Mona Lisa” to “The Death of The Virgin” by Caravaggio. Here are some interesting facts about the museum that not many people know of.
A Tour Worth 100 Days
It is estimated that the museum is so large that it will take about 100 days to cover each of the paintings. (only if we spent 30 seconds on each!)Museum Which is Not a Museum
The Louvre was originally a fortress before it became a museum. It turned from a fortress to a palace in late 16th century.Mona’s Own
The painting of Mona Lisa has its own private mail box because of all the love letters it receive.Isn’t as Big
The Mona Lisa painting is not really as big as one thinks. It is just a little more than the size of an A2 paper sheet.All French
The museum, as we all know is massive and there are a huge number of paintings from all around Europe. The interesting thing though, is that 66% of the paintings are made by French painters. That’s quite a lot.
