The Secrets of the Louvre: Ancient Codes & Hidden Messages in the World’s Greatest Art Museum

This unique Louvre Guided Tour goes beyond the standard facts of the paintings and artifacts held by the museum, and dives into the strange and often murky histories behind them. Your guide, an art specialist and secret-history enthusiast, will show you the most famous works in the collection as they regale you with tales of mystery and intrigue.

Your day starts when you meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people outside the museum, then head right inside with skip-the-line Louvre museum tickets. But not before learning about the controversy and rumors behind the glass pyramid that forms the entrance.

Once inside, you’ll cover the highlights that all the other Louvre guided tours see, but from a completely different angle. Magic, science, conspiracies real and imagined, murder, cannibalism, cross-dressing, sacred geometry, myths, rumors, and maybe a few lies - you'll get it all as you explore the most famous collection of art on earth.

This entertaining half-day delves into the controversial stories and theories not covered on a standard Louvre tour. You'll cover big names, like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, along with the lesser-known corners of the collection. It's a fantastic experience for seasoned art-lovers who are striving to discover something new, captivating to anyone who is beginning to enjoy the gallery scene and appealing to those searching for an entertaining new way to appreciate art.
