A Day in the Museum: Visiting the Louvre Part 2 – The Ground Floor

The ground floor houses the Near Eastern Antiquities, Islamic Art, Egyptian Antiquities, the Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities, Sculptures, as well as the Arts of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas.

TIP! Another great way to be able to plan your next visit to the Louvre is by familiarizing yourself with the 3 distinct wings namely the Richeliu, Sully, and Denon.
