Travel Diaries # 8 Art collection at Louvre Museum – Paris

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Louvre Museum is one of the magnificent structure of the world, a place with an extensive Art collection from all the best artist across the last few generations. This place becomes a must visit for every tourist in Paris..

The now Louvre Museum was once a fortress in the medieval times, which later became the home to King Charles V, but down the line in the 1700s Louis XIV moved the royal residence to Versailles and the Palace was turned a home to the Art Collection.

The Museum is spread across an area of 60600 square meters, and it’s not possible that you can see the whole of the museum in one single day. Though when you travel on a short trip you need to accommodate it in one day. Hence you need to plan what is it that will be of interest to you, try to cover up those areas first and then you can spend time for the rest.

The Louvre has a collection of almost 5000 Years spanning across civilizations.
The Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Islamic and many more civilizations history is found here under this one roof, royal collections, worldwide artifacts, renowned painting all so well preserved and maintained. You completely get awed by the magnitude of this place.

But trust me the whole place is so magnificent that you do not wish to miss out on any part. I had the privilege to visit it twice and I tried to make the most of it.

So here is some art collection from the Louvre from my two visits to Louvre. I like more of sculpture work, hence you will see that more over here.

This one is one of my most favorite painting in the museum, I just love the whole combination.

The Painting of Jesus with his disciples

The most talked about Monalisa

This is one of the other painting which I am fond of where you see AA Michael defeating the beast

A few sculptures

This is my most favorite section, the Iran gallery as this represents my culture.

A family click is definitely required :-)

Even the Ceilings have some magnificent art to offer

Some of the work on the outside of the museum

The other half of the Pyramid down which is at the Louvre station itself at the entrance of the museum.

This is just a very minuscule part of the Museum, majorly what has got my attention the most. Every nook and corner of the museum has something wonderful to display.
Trust you all enjoyed the Louvre Gallery.

This post is quite incredible - the Louvre is somewhere I always wanted to visit - and now I feel like I already have. Wonderful pictures and so many feature a very photogenic lady - is that you @nainaztengra ? A wonderful post that really brightened my day - fully supported, upvoted and resteemed thank you so much for sharing this wonderful content.

Thank you dear for your compliments. What you are seeing is just a speck, this place is huge. If you wish to visit it thoroughly you will need couple of days.

awesome travels cheers! Do visit other parts of France if you have the opportunity. France offers more than just the Louvre and Paris.

I go through museums really fast. I quickly pass by anything that does not interest me or catches my attention. Luckily my wife likes to see museums the same way. Then we have more time to enjoy what is truly important to us... the local foods!

Its same with my husband, he's always on the run when he's at a museum.....hahaha
But I like to see the place thoroughly. A museum visit can teach you more than reading books is what I believe

Nice post ! You were in my city and you did not tell me !
I hope you enjoyed your time there and that the Louvre was not too crowded.
Take care my friend.

Awwww......next time sure. Now that I know there's one awesome company I can have I am not gonna miss it :)

I would love to visit there one day. Both my wife and my 6 year old son can speak French. We are hoping to travel there one day when my son is older.
You took some fantastic photos!
Looks like you had a great time!

I suggest you should visit when your son is little older, he will also get to learn from the place. Its a wonderful place, you need to gather up all your energy before visiting there, it needs lots and lots of walking but all is worth it.
Yes we had an amazing time, I love the sculptures more than the paintings.

Lovely! Thank God they allow cameras inside. :)

Ya tbat's one good thing, you can have the memories forever

I think visiting art galleries is the best way to learn about the history and culture of any region across the world. Thanks for sharing all these amazing clicks, I'm sure you had a great time :)

Yes we had an amazing time. Its huge but we managed to cover our interest

une belle architecture et un fond riche de précieuse et magnifique photo

Thank you for sharing! I visited the Louvre last summer with my boyfriend @williamwest. It was truly an amazing experience, but as you said it's impossible to see everything in one day. Although, we rented a tourist-headset which guided us through the most popular paintings. Funny, I thought that the Mona Lisa-painting was very small IRL. Did you also think so?

Anyway, if you are into traveling, self-development or blog feel free to check out my channel. Otherwise, take care and have a wonderful day! 😃

Ohhh my dear I did not comment on tbat just with tbe reason that any art lover may feel offended. Yes i did feel its a hyped up painting

Haha, then we can agree on something! However, it's always fun to have seen it :)

Wow those are amazing sculptures

A very nice place . Very nice photos. Thank you very much as we traveled ...

Thanx dear. I am sure you enjoyed the place

Luvrul is a dream for any art lover. The ancient Greek statues I liked the most. Thanks for such a great presentation.

Yesss definetly. Its a paradise for art lovers. My favorite is the Iran section

It's probably impressive (the Iranian gallery), I do not know about it.

Wow, artworks are amazing....your photos of those sculptures are very good. Museums provide great photographic opportunities😊👍

You are right its a heaven for Photographers and Art lovers. Every nook and corner has a story to tell. Just love this place

I love them too, provides so much information, rich in history, culture and tradition😊

Hey what a amazing post! i really enjoyed, is amazing how many things like art, culture, arquitecture and history can be in one place... i think everyone have to visit it to see by themself all the greatness, i hope one day i can be there too. But, by now your post it's like a step closer. thank you.

Very true, its all under one roof. You see whatever is of your interest. I think its worth it to visit once in a lifetime
