Sculptures like Michelangelo’s “Dying Slave” and Antonio Canova’s “Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss” add another dimension to the experience. In the Apollo Gallery, you’ll glimpse the Louvre’s own history as the Royal Palace, before Louis XIV relocated the court to Versailles. The equally opulent décor of the Second Empire is also preserved in the Napoleon Apartments. After the tour, you can continue exploring the Louvre at your leisure.
