The Loevre - оne of the largest museums in the world

Have you ever been to France? Could I imagine standing in one of the great
sights of this country? The museum is located in the center of Paris and it is the
main landmark of city. You can see not only paintings, but also other works of
art that takes your breath away.
This summer I visited Paris and on my first day I went to the Louvre, an
amazing museum. The museum is situated in the Louvre Palace, which was
once a fortress. This magnificent building exists from 1190. Incredible
architecture fascinated me, and around I saw a thousand tourists who also
wanted to visit it.
The collection of the Louvre is divided into eight departments: Egyptian
Antiquities, Greek, Roman and Etruscan Antiquities, New Eastern Antiquities,
Islamic Art, Paintings, Sculpture, Decorative Arts, Prints and Drawings. The
Louvre houses some of the most famous pieces of existing art. For example,
Leonardo da Vinci’s painting “Mona Lisa”. The Louvre museum collection
contains the works of such renowned artists as Michelangelo, Raphael,
Vermeer, Le Brun, Falconet, Rembrandt and many others.
After the museum, we went to the Champs Elysees, this highway impressed me
with its size, the number of tourists and a beautiful view of the Тriumphal Аrch.
You can get to it in just half an hour. This monument left incredible impressions
because of its powerfull and breathtaking views from it, which open to the
whole city.
So, if you really love history and art you definitely need to visit the Louvre. I
am sure that this place and the city will not leave anyone indifferent. My hope is
that I will come back here once.
