Having served as a former royal palace, the Louvre bears a deep connection to the history of France over the course of eight centuries. Since its establishment in 1793, it has been envisioned as a universal museum, housing some of the world's most magnificent collections that span thousands of years and encompass diverse regions from America to the borders of Asia. The Louvre consists of eight departments, including Egyptian Antiquities, Oriental Antiquities, Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities, as well as modern collections like Paintings, Sculptures, Decorative Arts, Graphic Arts, and Islamic Art. With nearly 33,000 works on display, visitors can marvel at globally renowned masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Seated Scribe, the Winged Bulls of Khorsabad, the Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and Napoleon III's Apartments. Additionally, a ninth department dedicated to Byzantine and Eastern Christian Arts is currently being created and is set to open in 2025.
