卢浮宫简介英文
The Musée du Louvre - in English,the Louvre Museum or simply The Louvre - is one of the world's largest museums,and a historic monument.A central landmark of Paris,France,it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine.Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).
With more than 8 million visitors each year,the Louvre is the world's most visited museum.
The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace.In 1682,Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household,leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection,including,from 1692,a collection of antique sculpture.During the French Revolution,the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum,to display the nation's masterpieces.
The museum opened on 10 August 1793 with an exhibition of 537 paintings,the majority of the works being royal and confiscated church property.Because of structural problems with the building,the museum was closed in 1796 until 1801.After the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo,many works seized by his armies were returned to their original owners.The collection was further increased during the reigns of Louis XVIII and Charles X,and during the Second French Empire the museum gained 20,000 pieces.Holdings have grown steadily through donations.
