Orignially built as a palace for the kings of France, the Louvre is Paris' -- if not the world's -- most breathtaking museum. A destination in itself, the Louvre has an extensive collection that offers something for every taste. See the ancient glories of Mesopotamia and the palace of Sargon II, king of Assyria; study the marble statues, and delicate ceramics of the Greco-Roman world; or walk through the galleries and study the paintings of Raphael, Leonardo, Van Dyck, El Gre.
