This museum has everything, and one could easily spend a week there. Plus the museum building itself is absolutely remarkable. More

Deffinitly Dont miss this. Its a must see. However, Dont go overboard trying to see everything. Theres so much that you will probably tire yourself out and even get dizzy. the crowdedness doesnt help that matter either. Plan to see key things and accomplish your goal. You'll be mesmerized by the famous amazing art. Especially the Mona Lisa. When I... More

Accept up front that you will only see a little in each visit. Very large... We went on a Friday evening about 5pm & it was WONDERFUL - walked right in & very few crowds. Stayed till 9pm - enjoyed Napoleon's Apartments (little version of Versailles!) More

wonderful, but watch out for the crowds. Went with a tour group, and unfortunately only had a few hours time to get there by bus (terrible Parisian traffic), and then only saw the major pieces like Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo.

From the Mona Lisa to the Venus de Milo, this is the largest museum I have ever visited. Lots of amazing classics to see in person. It would take someone a whole day to see it all! Bewares that it is a VERY busy place, especially on the weekends. The bathrooms are pretty dirty, which surprised me. Most of all,... More

There is a lot to see so choose wisely :) I particularly wanted to see the famous Mona Lisa .... however you had to get through 100 tourist taking photos of it to see it!!!!! I really... More
