The Louvre, with its glass pyramid, is an icon of Paris and one of the world's most-visited cultural sites. Its collections encompass all ages: from antiquity (the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory) and the Renaissance (the Mona Lisa, works by Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Titian) to 19th-century French masterpieces. The Louvre-Lens project, now underway, will see more of the vast collection out of storage and on display at a second site in north Paris.
