You're standing in the Cour Napoléon, the main courtyard of the Louvre in Paris, in front of the glass pyramid. It's a little over 21 metres tall, made of glass and metal. Look at the slope of its sides. They rise at almost the same angle as the ancient pyramids of Egypt. Around the big pyramid stand three smaller ones, and on three sides there are low triangular pools with fountains.
