Louvre Museum tickets and tours

In August 1911, Leonardo’s masterpiece The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre and was missing for two years. The criminal was Vincenzo Peruggia, a handyman with a police record for robbing a prostitute. After hiding in a closet until the museum closed, he then removed the painting from its frame, rolled it up and walked out with it inside his coat.

There were no security alarms at that time and it was 24 hours before anyone even noticed the painting was missing. Police searched Peruggia’s flat but didn’t find anything, despite it being hidden in the bottom of a trunk. Instead, they arrested the poet Guillame Apollinaire, who was soon released for lack of evidence. Picasso was also questioned.

After a while, the media became interested in the tragic sinking of the Titanic and Peruggia decided it was time to sell the painting. Unfortunately, he tried to sell it to Giovanni Poggi, director of Florence’s Uffizi Gallery, and was immediately arrested. The painting went on a brief tour of Italy before returning to the Louvre. Peruggia served seven months in prison.

About the Louvre

The history of the Louvre begins around 1200 with its construction as a defensive bastion for Paris. It later served time as a royal residence before housing various government ministries during the nineteenth century. Only at the start of the twentieth century did its role as an art treasury begin.

The Louvre's collections include western art from the medieval period to 1848 and are organised into different departments: paintings, Egyptian antiquities, Greek/Roman/Etruscan antiquities, Near Eastern antiquities, sculpture, decorative arts, Islamic arts, prints & drawings, and the Pavillon de l’Horloge (once the royal palace).

The departments are color coded to help you navigate what is a vast and potentially confusing space. It’s recommended that you obtain a map and spend a little time thinking about what you’d like to see rather than trying to see everything in a single session. The maps are available in Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.

The Louvre also has an excellent website with maps, information and tips on how to understand the art you’ll see there. The Mona Lisa may be its most famous (and popular) exhibit but there are a thousand other discoveries to be made if you explore all the museum has to offer.

Louvre was amazing we enjoyed every minute but the wait for the tickets should have been planned and informed in advance not left until early morning before our 10/00 entrance , however the price you charged me is nearly half more then the actual price of f we would’ve bought the tickets online

Amilly made the experience absolutely wonderful. I cannot imagine a better guide to explain with such clarity a subject we had no prior knowledge of. This is one of the last things my wife will do as she has terminal cancer and Amilly played such a part in this wonderful experience. Thank you Amilly

We bought tickets on line through the travel operator. We activated our tickets at the bus where we were met by a helpful steward. Travelling around Paris was excellent. Easy to hop on and off at the stops and to join one of the frequent buses. Excellent value for money.

Excellent guided tour, 100% recommended. We did not have to queue too long to enter this magnificent museum. We had the opportunity to leave our belongings in the group’s locker within the Louvre. Our guide Myriam was amazing, showed us the masterpieces of the Louvre that probably we would have taken hours to find. She was very knowledgeable about history and art. When she left us we still had time to walk around. Well worth the money.

Verzamelpunt was lastig te vinden omdat, bleek achteraf, dit punt in de steigers stond en daardoor niet herkenbaar was. Een tui servicemedewerker heeft ons toen telefonisch super fijn geholpen zodat we toch nog op tijd op de afgesproken plek stonden. Gids was top, heeft ons met leuke verhalen en een flinke dosis humor door het Louvre (of althans een gedeelte hiervan) begeleid. Tegen sluitingstijd eindigde we bij de Mona Lisa, hierdoor stonden we daar bijna privé. Zou het iedereen aanraden!
