Don't attempt this museum on your own. Our guide was an amazing art historian that pointed out relevant art while providing the story behind each piece. It really brought everything to life. (Perfect amount of time for a family without being overwhelming.). Her stories behind important art vs famous art was so intreagueing. In addition she told us about the history of the building and how it came to be. Highly Recommend.

  • Bypass the long queues and gain entry into one of the world's largest and most visited museums with reserved access. An art history expert will welcome you, setting the stage for this intimate tour limited to just 6 or 10 participants.

    Getting started

    Your voucher will include the final meeting point details. Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth start to your tour. Begin your visit in a grand hall of Greek and Roman sculptures, where you’ll encounter masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, and Bernini’s striking life-size Sleeping Hermaphroditus.

    What to expect

    Follow your guide to some of Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest works, including St. John the Baptist, before standing face-to-face with the world’s most famous painting—the Mona Lisa. Just across the room, don’t miss the monumental Wedding Feast at Cana, a masterpiece that fills the opposite wall with drama and detail. Your tour also brings you to works by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon’s official painter, and Eugène Delacroix, as well as the dazzling French Crown Jewels on display. Before even stepping inside, admire the iconic glass pyramid entrance—once controversial, now a celebrated symbol of how the museum blends the modern with the historic. This experience goes beyond viewing art; it immerses you in the stories and legacies that have shaped centuries of culture.
