Louvre Museum: Dedicated Entry + Guided Evening Tour

Additional Information & Description

The Louvre Museum’s last-entry evening tour brings you to the Mona Lisa without the heaving afternoon crowds. Over three hours, explore essential sections of the museum with an expert guide, reaching its most famous painting as closing time approaches. The later visit puts quieter viewing at the heart of the experience, rather than the bustle of an afternoon in the galleries.

From palace foundations to museum galleries

The route takes you to the moat to see the palace’s foundations, revealing a different side of the Louvre from its classical exterior and glass pyramid. This architectural stop grounds the visit in the building itself before you move through its art. The museum’s scale is remarkable: around 35,000 artifacts are displayed at any given time. Its wider holdings span Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Greek antiquities, alongside masterpieces by artists including Da Vinci and Rembrandt. This tour focuses on essential sections within that vast collection.

Sculpture and a pivotal French painting

Among the Classical Greek statues, seek out the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. The guided route also includes Cupid and Psyche and Michelangelo’s Slaves, bringing several distinct sculptural works into the same visit. Painting takes the story in another direction with Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People, a work that draws you into a pivotal moment in French history. These named stops give the evening a concrete focus across both sculpture and painting.

Dedicated entry and English-language guidance

Your ticket includes dedicated, skip-the-line entry and a guided evening tour of the permanent collection. A live English-speaking guide leads the visit, and a headset is included so you can hear the commentary. The guided format provides a structured route through the museum’s essential sections, with explanations accompanying the works rather than leaving you to navigate the collection alone.
