Summary

Description

(Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois) Cour Napoléon The Louvre Museum is the world's largest museum. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection. During the French Revolution, the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum to display the nation's masterpieces and the museum opened on August 10, 1793.
