The Louvre Museum in France is one of the largest and most visited museums in the world. Its history begins in the 12th century when it was built as a fortress under Philip Augustus to defend Paris from invasions. In the 16th century, under Francis I, it became a royal residence, marking the beginning of its evolution into a place of culture and art. In 1793, at the heart of the French Revolution, the Louvre was transformed into a museum open to the public, presenting the royal collections and property confiscated from émigrés. Today, the Louvre Museum in France houses more than 38,000 works of art, spanning the period from Antiquity to 1848. Among its treasures are Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Code of Hammurabi. The Louvre pyramid, designed by architect Ieoh Ming Pei and inaugurated in 1989, has become a modern symbol of Paris, contrasting magnificently with the classical architecture of the palace.
