In 1190, construction began on the fortress wall, one of whose towers became the Louvre Tower. Over time, a royal castle was built nearby, serving as a treasury, prison, and arsenal. In the 14th century, the castle lost its military significance and was converted into a residence for the royal family. It housed a library with an impressive number of books for the time.

The idea for a museum arose before the French Revolution, and the decision was made in 1792. At the time of its opening, the museum housed approximately 2,500 works of art from the royal collections of Francis I and Louis XIV. Over time, the exhibition was expanded to include sculptures, military trophies from the Napoleonic period, and archaeological finds from Egypt and the Middle East.

The Louvre preserves more than a thousand years of history and offers visitors the opportunity to explore a variety of artistic styles and forms. buying tickets to the Louvre on our website will allow you to touch history and enjoy legendary exhibits—from paintings to jewelry and tapestries.
