Good to Know Before Your Louvre Visit
The Louvre sits in central Paris and is easy to reach by public transport. The simplest route is the metro to Palais-Royal – Musée du Louvre on lines 1 and 7, and several bus lines stop nearby. The museum is also within walking distance of the Tuileries Garden, the Seine and much of central Paris.
There are several ways in, and the right one saves time. The glass Pyramid is the main entrance, with separate queues for ticket holders, visitors without tickets and priority access. The Carrousel du Louvre entrance, reached through the underground shopping mall, is open to ticket and pass holders and tends to be quieter. The Richelieu Passage is kept for groups and membership card holders, and the Porte des Lions (currently closed) serves online ticket holders only, with no lockers.
The Louvre opens every day except Tuesday. Hours run 09:00 to 18:00 on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and 09:00 to 21:00 on Wednesday and Friday. Last entry is one hour before closing, and the galleries clear 30 minutes before closing time. The museum also closes on January 1, May 1 and December 25; on other public holidays it stays open unless the date falls on a Tuesday. The outdoor courtyards keep their own hours, with the Cour Napoléon open daily 07:30 to 21:00 and the Cour Carrée open daily 07:30 to 19:45. It is worth checking times ahead, especially for evening or holiday visits.
The collection is organized into themed departments, so it helps to decide what you most want to see. Egyptian Antiquities holds pieces like the Sphinx of Tanis and preserved mummies; Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities gathers classical sculpture including the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace; the Paintings department ranges from the Mona Lisa to French, Italian and Northern European masters; the Decorative Arts galleries show royal furniture, tapestries and ceramics; and the Islamic Art department traces centuries of artistic exchange across the Islamic world.
