You're standing at the Louvre, one of the largest museums in the world, housed in a palace where the kings of France lived for centuries. Start with the glass pyramid in the middle of the courtyard. It was designed by the Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei and has been the main entrance since 1993. At first, plenty of French people were outraged: something this modern next to a royal palace? These days the pyramid is simply part of the Louvre.
