The Carrousel and Tuileries Gardens are other historical sites here with an open-air sculpture museum, whose pathways lead to the Louvre.
The Louvre has over 380,000 works in-store, but only a handful are on display in the exhibit section, with renowned artworks from Leonardo Da Vinci, Vermeer, Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Eugène Delacroix. Besides the artworks here, the glass pyramid which serves as the main entrance to the museum and the Inverted Pyramid built as a part of the Grand Louvre plan are the other star attractions of this place.
