The famous museum in Paris is the Louvre Museum, known for being one of the largest and most visited art museums in the world. Originally a royal palace, it became a public museum during the French Revolution in 1793. The Louvre houses an extensive collection of art and artifacts, including iconic works such as Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and the ancient Greek statue "Venus de Milo." With its stunning glass pyramid entrance designed by architect I.M. Pei, the Louvre not only serves as a cultural treasure but also as a symbol of Paris's rich artistic heritage.
