The excellent artifacts from Egypt, Babylon and other countries, some of which were 4500 years old, were up-to-date and vividly crafted for eternity! The audio guide that was provided to us provided additional information in a clear and concise manner and was very helpful, as the museum's audio guides are currently being revised and are not available. We entered the exhibition with a moderate waiting time of 1 hour at the Carrousel entrance, as the tickets were not available until 10:30 am. So if you like exciting moments and unpredictability, you should prefer this type to any thriller. Thank you for that!

We were slightly late so did not have to queue - a bonus as we had queued for another Musee earlier in the pouring rain. Perhaps shelter over the queueing area for those waiting. Louvre was busy and layout quite confusing. Lots of stairs and long walks. However, we saw some Of the most fantastic and notable art works. Toilets were not in a good state. Some Out of order, long queues and actual facilities not very clean. The shopping mall under the Louvre was a surprise and had a good range of shops, restaurants, etc.

I have seen the SLAVE for many times, but never been before looking at the famous sculpture so carefully. With the thickened back, as if he is carrying a large heavy turtle's shell, with the arms and hands bond tightly to his body, he nearly has no way to strugle, but bearing all the burden loaded on his body and his life. However strong enough are the musle and bones of his leges, there is no possiblity of freedom to look forword to, under the unbearable weight on him.

We arrived at the museum on time. The waiting time beforehand was already long, but there is probably no other way to organize it. Apart from that, the Louvre is of course worth seeing. And of course you can't see everything. But you know that 😄

Convenient, punctual, useful service. However, the state of the toilets is problematic, both in the lobby and inside the museum. The young lady at the information desk in the lobby (late afternoon) could have been more helpful. Ferenc

I spent the day at the Louvre. The art, the history, and the energy were unforgettable. It was packed with visitors, but I still managed to get a close-up view of the Mona Lisa. An incredible experience

Beautiful day enjoying Mesopotamian history. Crowds were not to busy and the art was beautiful. It was my spouses first time and she was awestruck with the scale of the Lourve.
