Hidden Gems at the Louvre

While most visitors flock to the Mona Lisa or Venus de Milo, the Louvre has many hidden gems tucked away in quieter wings. These galleries often feature medieval artifacts, Islamic art, and lesser-known paintings.

Highlights

  • Medieval Sculpture: Unique statues and religious carvings.
  • Decorative Arts: Fine furniture, tapestries, and metalwork.
  • Under-the-Radar Paintings: Works by lesser-known masters with fascinating stories.

Visitor Tips

  • Allocate at least an hour for these galleries.
  • Use the museum map to navigate off the main tourist path.
  • Enjoy the quiet atmosphere for reflection and photography.
