Museum/arts/culture
The Louvre occupies a former royal residence along the Seine, displaying tens of thousands of artworks and artifacts spanning ancient civilizations to the 19th century. Its collection includes the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The museum's modern glass pyramid entrance, added in 1989, has become a landmark in its own right.
