WELCOME TO THE LOUVRE
The origin of the Louvre dates back to the 1200s. Once a royal
residence, it became a museum in 1793 during the French
Revolution and is now home to artworks dating from
the 7th millennium BC to the 1850s. The collections are displayed
on 5 levels, in 3 interconnecting wings named after three
prominent gures from French history: Richelieu (1585–1642),
chief minister of King Louis XIII, Sully (1559–1641),
chief minister of King Henri IV, and Denon (1747–1825),
rst director of the Musée du Louvre.
SULLY WING – LEVELS -1, 1 AND 2
The Pavillon de l’Horloge

of the Louvre palace and the presentation of the museum’s
collections. You will see how the original medieval fortress
became a museum (Level -1), explore the diversity of
its collections with a selection of artworks (Level 1) and discover

The Carrousel and Tuileries Gardens
The Carrousel Garden is laid out around the triumphal
arch of Napoleon I (reigned 1804–1815), which once
marked the entrance to the Tuileries palace.
Beyond the Carrousel is the famous Tuileries Garden,
a masterpiece of garden design with its beautiful ower
beds and shaded groves. The two gardens also form
an open-air sculpture museum.
The Musée National Eugène-Delacroix
Across the river Seine, just a 15-minute walk away from
the Louvre, visit the apartment and studio where Eugène
Delacroix spent the last years of his life. In this historic
building, located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés,
discover a unique collection of artworks by the great
Romantic painter and his contemporaries.
Admission free for a same-day or next-day visit
on presentation of the Louvre admission ticket.
Open daily, except Tuesdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
and until 9 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month.
