What to See Inside, Getting There, and Opening Hours

The Louvre is organized into themed departments, so it helps to know roughly where the things you care about live. Egyptian Antiquities holds artifacts stretching back thousands of years, among them the Sphinx of Tanis and preserved mummies. The Greek, Etruscan, and Roman galleries are where you'll find classical sculpture including the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The Paintings department covers the Mona Lisa alongside French, Italian, and Northern European masters, while the Decorative Arts rooms display royal furniture, tapestries, and ceramics from France's palaces, and the Islamic Art department traces centuries of artistic exchange across the Islamic world.

The museum sits in central Paris and is easiest to reach by metro, lines 1 and 7 to Palais-Royal – Musée du Louvre. Plenty of bus routes stop nearby, and it's walkable from many central landmarks. There are several entrances: the glass Pyramid is the main one but also the busiest, the Carrousel du Louvre entrance through the underground mall tends to be quieter for ticket holders, the Richelieu Passage is for groups and members, and the Porte des Lions (online ticket holders only, no lockers) is currently closed.

The Louvre is open every day except Tuesday. Hours are 09:00 to 18:00 on Monday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, and 09:00 to 21:00 on Wednesday and Friday, with late evenings being a good bet for thinner crowds. Last entry is one hour before closing, and the galleries clear out 30 minutes before close. The museum shuts on January 1, May 1, and December 25, and otherwise stays open on public holidays unless the holiday lands on a Tuesday. The outdoor courtyards keep their own hours: Cour Napoléon runs 07:30 to 21:00 daily and Cour Carrée 07:30 to 19:45.

On October 19, 2025, thieves broke into the Galerie d'Apollon and took eight pieces of 19th-century French Crown Jewels, including tiaras, necklaces, and earrings once owned by the imperial and royal families.

The daylight heist lasted only minutes and exposed serious security gaps that are still under investigation.
