The Musee du Louvre is the biggest and probably the most famous museum worldwide. The building itsfelf is a masterpiece that deserve to be discovered and its art collection is simply amazing, not just because of the number of works of art on display but also for their quality. Walking in the Louvre is like browsing an art history book.
