Glass Ceiling, The Louvre

Founded in 1793, the Louvre’s 8.5 million annual visitors are testament to its dedication to showcasing the most admired pieces in the world. On first opening, the museum aimed to educate aspiring artists in 'grand style'. Today, its collections are open to all and hold nearly 35,000 objects. Pieces span from Ancient Egyptian pots and prints, to the most respected modern-day sculptures. Exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres, you’ll need more than one trip to fully appreciate its diversity and quality.
