Once the Palace of the French kings Francois I, Henri IV, and Louis XIV, the Louvre has become one of the greatest of all museums. This pride of Paris attracts tourists and art lovers alike, abounding in architectural history as well as unsurpassed collections of masterpeices.
This French porcelain Limoges box of The Pyramide opens up to show a hand-painted display of the entrance to the museum. The palace with its eight hundred years of rich architectural history has at its center a symbol both of permanence and of contemporary creativitiy. The Pyramide was highly controversial when its construction was commissioned in 1984; now it is considered a shining example of how to introduce new buildings into a historical context.
Just like inside the Louvre itself, within this Louvre Pyramid Limoges box you will find the marvelous Mona Lisa.
The Louvre Museum is filled with collections of paintings as well as artifacts from ancient cultures and civilizations. It is surrounded by beautiful gardens with great tress, lakes, and courtyards. Taking in the sights of this palace is a day's venture, but you can spend weeks enjoying the immediate surroundings of the palace as well -- such as the Notre Dame, Arc De Triomphe and Opera Garnier.
Whether you are a visitor, armchair traveler, or resident, with this single portable Limoges box you can take a trip to www.LimogesBoxCollector.com and own a remarkable tribute to one of the greatest places of the world.
