The Musée du Louvre de France is one of the largest and most visited museums in the world. Its history begins in the 12th century when it was built as a fortress under Philip Augustus to defend Paris from invasions. In the 16th century, under Francis I, it became a royal residence, marking the beginning of its evolution into a place of culture and art. In 1793, during the French Revolution, the Louvre was transformed into a museum open to the public, presenting royal collections and goods confiscated from emigrants.

Today, the Musée du Louvre de France houses more than 38,000 works of art, covering a period from antiquity to 1848. Among its treasures are Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and the Code of Hammurabi.
