It's all about Mona Lisa's Smile

Wednesday, March 31, 2010

Tourist attraction that became the target of every Paris’ traveler than the Eiffel tower is the Musée du Louvre. Including me and my family. We had a chance to explore this museum on October 2009. This building is the largest national museums in France, and is also the most visited museums in the world. We had to buy a ticket for 9 Euro to explore the contents of the museum and its valid for 3 hours. The museum is divided into three wings: Denon, Sully and Richelieu. Therefore, I am wondering that three hours of actual time given was not possible to explore the entire contents of this museum.
The museum is located in the former Palace of the Louvre was built in the late 12th century by King Philip II. The museum officially opened on August 10, 1793 with a display of new paintings as many as 537. It is said that this museum was once called the Musee Napoleon, when in the leadership of Napoleon. Currently, nearly 35,000 materials exhibited. It's incredible!

Paris 4 - We visited Musée du Louvre. We bought daily ticket called Mobilis Ticket Zone 1-4 costs 9.60 EURO per person, in the locket. Then we used Metro M4 direction Porte de Clignancourt, stop at the Chatelet Station then take M1 direction La Defense and stop at Palais Royal Musee du Louvre station. The second place that became our target in Paris is the . This building is the largest national museums in France, and is also the most visited museums in the world. Hmmm .. How lucky!

To explore the contents of this "pyramid museum", we had to buy a ticket for 9 EUR, and is valid for 3 hours. The museum is divided into three wings, Denon, Sully and Richelieu. So really not enough time with just three hours hehehe ..But, we have no worries, we already have a note what to visit.

The most impressive is the museum which located in the former Palace of the Louvre was built in the late 12th century by King Philip II. The museum officially opened on August 10, 1793 with a display around 537 paintings. Today, nearly 35.000 display materials. Incredible!

Of the many objects on display, there is one of the most attractive to visitors and have to wait long to be the most forward position. Yes, the famous painting "Mona Lisa". The painting is in the Denon Wing 1st Floor Room 6.


Although many people crammed, fortunately we were wrong entry point and not too taken by officers because we brought the stroller. So, please not jealous to see my picture below...
