Overview

The Louvre Museum is one of the largest collections of artwork on the planet… so it should come as no surprise that within the collection are paintings, sculptures, and pieces that contain fascinating – and sometimes gruesome – secrets and stories.  Dive into the ancient world collections to learn stories of ancient magic and long-forgotten rituals.  Travel through history as you bring to life some of the horrors depicted in some of the Museum’s most iconic paintings.  Look at the Mona Lisa from a new perspective and try to understand her enigmatic story and smile. 

You’ll also dive into the history of the Louvre itself – its medieval origins as a fortress, its standing as a royal palace, and its role as the setting of centuries of betrayal, scandal, and murder.  This in-depth tour will give you a newfound appreciation for the Louvre as you look at things from a darker point of view; get ready to be both shocked and intrigued on this macabre visit!
