]]>Musée de la Vie Romantique
Located in a former hotel at the foot of Montmartre in Paris’s 9th arrondissement, this small museum is a great escape when Paris becomes overwhelming. It’s one of Paris’s three literary museums, home of the possessions of French writer George Sand, paintings by Ary Scheffer, and sculptures from Bartholdi and James Pradier.
Petit Palais
Also called the Musée des Beaux Arts de la Ville de Paris, the Petit Palais isn’t actually as small as the name would suggest. Built for Paris’ 1900 World Fair Plus, the Petit Palais holds art dating from the Middle Ages through the Modern Art movement, and the building itself is a work of art. Plus, best of all, it’s free!
Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature
One of Paris’s most unique museum’s name translates to Museum of Hunting and Nature. Its roof is made of owl feathers and that’s just the beginning of what makes it so special.

Remains of the Louvre’s Moat
Before becoming one of the most famous museums in the world, the Louvre used to be a fortress that was supposed to protect Paris from attacks. If you want to explore this part of its history, you can walk around the original perimeter moat on this virtual tour.

The Louvre’s Pyramid lights up in the night. Galerie d’Apollon
This is one of the Louvre’s most imposing rooms, thanks to its high vaulted ceilings with painted decorations. It was built during the reign of Louis XIV, and its signature ceiling pays homage to this French ruler.
Construite il y a plus de 350 ans, la galerie d’Apollon contient des œuvres parmi les plus précieuses du musée. Elle abrite, depuis 1861, la collection de vases en pierres dures de Louis XIV, complétée à partir de 1887 d’un trésor historique constitué au fil des siècles : les Diamants de la Couronne. – 
Cette vaste salle était à l’origine une galerie de réception conçue pour Louis XIV, et les plus grands artistes français l’ont décorée, tels que Le Brun ou Delacroix. Elle servit également de modèle à la galerie des Glaces du château de Versailles. – 
Après 10 mois de travaux et de réaménagements, la galerie rouvre ses portes. Les 23 bijoux de la Couronne sont désormais réunis dans un seul lieu et répartis dans les trois nouvelles vitrines installées au centre de la galerie. Une nouvelle jeunesse a également été redonnée aux décors de la galerie. Cette rénovation a été rendue possible grâce au mécénat de la Maison @cartier. Rendez-vous en story pour en savoir plus !

It goes without saying that the Valpinçon Bather would have adopted, to keep the freshness of her bath, the Scented Soap Sheets of the Officine. Her wish has been highly fulfilled since July 3rd at the Louvre Museum. Discover 40 fragrant sheets at her effigy, made for travelling and distinguished hands.The collaboration resulted in eight scents, created by eight different French perfumers, that represent a Louvre artwork each. “The perfumers were totally free to choose the art they wanted. There wasn’t even a budget,” the Buly 1803 leader Ramdane Touhami told The Telegraph. “Actually, I said no Mona Lisa; that would have been far too obvious.”
The museum visitors will now be able to take home unique scented souvenirs in the form of perfume, candle, soap sheets, or postcards.
Discover the enchantment of our water based perfume inspired by masterpieces such as Venus de Milo. Unique in the world, Eau Triple is available in a bold collection in collaboration with the Louvre. Eight renowned perfumers take up an exciting challenge: translating an emblematic work into a scent. Venus de Milo, with its amber, woody and jasmine accents, can be found in an unusual boutique in the Louvre and soon in our officines in Paris, London, Seoul and Tokyo. #venusdemilo #museedulouvre #thelouvre #thelouvremuseum #eautriple #waterbasedperfume #buly1803 #officineuniversellebulyThe post The Louvre Now Offers 8 Perfumes Based on Famous Artworks appeared first on Traveler Master.

]]>The installation is visible from the roof of the museum and from two large screens in the courtyard. It didn’t last long, though. Because it was made of paper, the whole construction tore apart on Saturday as the visitors walked over it.
The artist explained that the installation was meant to be temporary in a tweet, writing: “The images, like life, are ephemeral. Once pasted, the art piece lives on its own. The sun dries the light glue and with every step, people tear pieces of the fragile paper. The process is all about participation of volunteers, visitors, and souvenir catchers.”
