Het was zo enorm druk, dat we amper iets hebben kunnen zien. We hebben meer in de wachtrij staan wachten dan dat we iets van het museum hebben kunnen zien. Wat heel jammer was omdat we speciaal entreekaarten met een tijdslot hadden gekocht. Ondanks dat hebben we ruim een uur in de rij gestaan om binnen te komen.

Discover Renaissance masterpieces and ancient Egyptian relics, along with paintings from the 13th to 20th centuries. The museum first opened on August 10, 1793, exhibiting just 537 paintings. Despite closing in 1796 due to structural problems, it reopened in 1801 as the Musée Napoléon with a larger collection.
The collection has since gained 20,000 works. Now, there are 8 departments: Egyptian Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculpture; Decorative Arts; Paintings; and Prints and Drawings.
