Founded in 1793 as a museum for all, The Louvre celebrates humanity's long journey with the remarkable scope of a collection that spans thousands of years, reaches from America to the borders of India and China, and is highlighted by such iconic, universally admired works as the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Victory of Samothrace.
The Louvre's website is rich in media of all kinds, including searchable databases of images from the collection, streaming videos produced by the museum, virtual tours, as well as interactive multimedia modules that allow you to see the details of an artwork through a magnifying glass while commentary and animation provide historical and artistic background.
