Well, I have a very mixed opinion about this place. On one hand, the sheer size and depth of this museum, from the history to the variety of art, was incredible. There is no doubt that you will be amazed by this place. On the other hand, it was a very long line, no flow through different exhibits, and certain areas were extremely crowded. Pros of the louvre - There is a super cool history, and the individual exhibits are very well curated and simply amazing. There are so many different styles of art from different cultures and times in history. (One could wonder how all of this was acquired) Furthermore, it was very clean and felt very safe, and you were able to see tons of pieces up close. Lastly, I got in for free, being from the EU, and my American girlfriend had to pay €15, which we thought was super reasonable for the size of the museum. On to the cons- the mesuem really lacked a sense of flow throughout it. I was looking at the map the whole time trying to figure out how we were supposed to move through this museum. The signage was sporadic and often misleading. Ultimately, it seemed like the only real consistent sign we saw was pointing you towards the mona lisa. Speaking of that, certain pieces, primarily the mona lisa, were so crowded that it really made it difficult to get close to or really have the opportunity to enjoy the piece. Lastly, the line to enter was fairly long, and once in the museum, there are even more lines, however none to long. Overall, I would recommend doing some research about what areas you want to see l, as the size makes it impossible to see everything in one day, and be prepared to walk a lot. It is definitely worth the visit as it is so iconic, but don't expect a walk in the park.
