Louvre

The Louvre Museum is the largest art museum in the world and one of Paris’s most historic landmarks, situated near the banks of the River Seine. It is home to thousands of works of art, including the Mona Lisa, widely regarded as the most famous painting in the world.

This image features the iconic glass pyramids, a modern addition designed by I. M. Pei and completed in the late 20th century. The pyramids gained further recognition through their appearance in The Da Vinci Code. Captured on a rainy night, the scene highlights the reflections and atmosphere that transform this well-known landmark into something more intimate and cinematic.
