Comments:
Picture that have been taken in January 2012 show the roof of this new Departement, built in courtyard of the meseum.The pictures have been taken from the windows of the room where is shown Mona Lisa (La Joconde).
The roof is expected to be a flying carpet, is with a golden color and is compound from many triangles that can be opened or closed to keep a good temperature in the exhibition areas.
Two levels of exhibition rooms are set-up below this 'flying carpet'.
Address:
Le Louvre, 75001 ParisThe Louvre is located in the heart of Paris.
By subway: station 'Palais Royal/Musee du Louvre'
More original and as easy as the subway: By batobus: Stop at Louvre, Quai Francois Mitterrand
By car: Parking is accessible via the Avenue General Lemonier daily from 7AM to 11PM.
By bus: Bus 21,24,27,39,48,68,69,72,81,95; Bus 'Paris Open Tour': Stop in front of the pyramid.
It happens that the queue line outside the great pyramide is very long. In this case, coming throught the underground commercial center of the Louvre allows you to reach quickly & easily the automatic machines to buy the tickets to visit the museum.
