2025 Set (4X) Louvre 2025 - 2€ France Coincard

Collection of 4 Coincards

The history of the Louvre begins in 1190, during the reign of Philip Augustus.

It was then a military establishment that served in particular to protect Paris from invasions. Over the centuries, the Louvre was transformed into a royal residence, and it was only after the French Revolution in 1793 that it became a museum open to the public, housing a collection of works of art for the people.

Today, its collections, which are among the finest in the world, span several millennia and a territory that stretches from America to the borders of Asia. It is also the most visited museum in the world, with no less than 8.9 million visitors in 2023. Among its most famous works, the Louvre includes the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Seated Scribe, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the Code of Hammurabi.
