The Louvre:
This huge (about a third of a kilometre long) art museum is home to some of the most important pieces of art in the western world including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. The Louvre has recently received a billion dollar face-lift which has included the construction of a new entrance through a glass pyramid in the courtyard leading to an underground shopping mall and food court. During weekends and school holidays it can get very busy with very long queues, usually the easiest way to avoid some of the queues is by entering through the Carrousel du Louvre (shopping mall) - on rare occasions when there are queues in the Carrousel du Louvre you can try to jump the queue by telling the guard that you just want to get to the post office which is located near the entrance.
Tips : Try to cover louvre on Wednesdays and Fridays when it is open till 09:45pm.

The Louvre was more than what I had expected. Two days of strolling thruogh itd long corridors still left lot to be seen. The best option to see the museums in paris is the Meuseum pass available at the Paris Tourism Information office and the SNCF offices among other places.
