Your Louvre wire basket will have you dreaming of
Paris every time you use it.
The triangle motif was inspired by the pyramid that towers over the Louvre’s subterranean lobby. Built in the 1980s, the glass-and-metal pyramid is a dramatic contrast to the French Renaissance architecture all around.
It’s an unforgettable welcome for the millions who visit every year, most of whom make a beeline for Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The world’s most famous portrait smiles the world’s most enigmatic smile in the biggest room of the world’s biggest art museum – and she’s surprisingly small!
But it’s not all about Mona. The Louvre’s magnificent rooms house must-see artworks, from the Crown Jewels to Venetian masterpieces and Egyptian antiquities. It’s unmissable, whether you love art, architecture, history or all things French.
