Краткое описание документа:

TODAY, THE LOUVRE IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND MOST VISITED MUSEUMS IN THE WORLD. IT IS ALSO THE BIGGEST MUSEUM IN PARIS, EXTENDING OVER 210,000 M². THIS FORMER ROYAL PALACE, RESIDENCE OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE HAS A LONG HISTORY FROM THE CAPETIAN KINGS OF THE 12TH CENTURY TO THE PRESENT DAY.

During the French Revolution, in 1793, it was transformed into a national museum. In 1988, President François Mitterrand decided to make the Louvre the greatest museum in the world and commissioned the architect Leoh Ming Pei. The latter built the 20-metre-high glass pyramid which forms the entrance to the museum.
