精选答案

The Louvre, or the Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre ) is a national art museum in Paris, France.

A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district or ward) and home to some of the most canonical works of Western art, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.

The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built in the late 12th to 13thcentury under PhilipII.

Remnants of the Medieval Louvre fortress are visible in the basement of the museum.

Due to urban expansion, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function, and in 1546 Francis I converted it into the primary residence of the French Kings.
