A visit to the Louvre is a truly special experience, offering a chance to encounter some of the greatest works of art in history. And with an art historian as your guide, it becomes even more captivating: I will reveal secrets you won’t hear on standard tours.

We will begin with the origins of the Louvre: you will see how the palace emerged in the 13th century, how it changed over time, and how it transformed from a royal residence into one of the world’s most important museums. We will talk about how the Louvre became a symbol of France’s grandeur and what mysteries its walls still hold.

In the galleries of Ancient Greece and Rome, you will discover that sculptures are not only ideal forms, but also philosophical symbols, and sometimes even war trophies.

In the Royal Jewellery Gallery, I will share fascinating stories: how precious stones came into the hands of monarchs, what destinies lie behind these jewels, and how some treasures disappeared for centuries.

We will see not only famous masterpieces, but also lesser-known works that we will learn to “read” like a book.
