It is always thrilling to share secrets, scandals and constructive gossip about the largest museum in the world - the Louvre. What did Napoleon want, and how did that make Venus famous? Is there really a secret behind the Mona Lisa’s smile? Who was obsessed with his blocks of marble (and would you have a drink with them)? Why did it take 8 centuries to build the Louvre?
I learned Art History the hard way, with some of the most fascinating scholars, I sometimes see in documentaries. But academia was not gonna be for ever, and I did my own Emily in Paris move and fled (London), to reinvent myself in the City of Dreamers-Paris. That was a while ago, and the Louvre has been a second home for more than a decade now.

We enter via a side entrance reserved for pre-booked tickets and take a moment to freshen up first. Before exploring the Museum, we take a moment to discuss why the glass Pyramid was built. We will be talking about how the Louvre was erected over the centuries, how the Greeks and Romans influenced Michelangelo, what painting inspired the Statue of Liberty. Highlights and much more included. (Venus de Milo, Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, The Raft of The Medusa). Depending on guest preferences, a visit to the Apartments of Napoleon III is also possible.
