In this video, Jessica the Museum Guide (that's me!) takes you on a guided museum tour of the Top Ten Treasures of the Louvre. Of course, choosing just ten is almost impossible, but this Louvre tour video is a great way to prepare for the Louvre if youâre short on time.

Hi! Using your videos for homeschooling my teens, they definitely want controversy and mummy unwrapping! Thank you for existing!
19:49 The Venus de Milo

I think Venus Milo is Aphrodite in Greek version not Poseidon's wife.
25:26 The Mona Lisa
Tour Description:
MOST OF THE MUSEUM'S EXHIBITS ARE GREEK. IF THEY RETURN THEM TO GREECE WHERE THEY WERE STOLEN FROM, THE MUSEUM WILL BE EMPTY.
Our Louvre Museum Tour starts with the Great Sphinx of Tanis, often called the Guardian of the Louvre. We then stay in the Egyptian Gallery to see Pacheri, the Louvreâs Mummy. After admiring Delacroixâs Liberty Leading the People, we visit Ancient Babylon and examine the Code of Hammurabi.
Then itâs over to number six on our list, Davidâs The Coronation of Napoleon before admiring Michelangeloâs Dying Slave and Rebellious Slave. Number four is GĂ©ricaultâs The Raft of the Medusa, followed by an Ancient Greek double whammy with the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Finally, of course, our number one entry is da Vinciâs Mona Lisa.
âHah itâs so big itâs so hard to get it in oneâ thatâs what she said

Your editing skills are insane.
@TonseMlonsEnjoyed this tour,thank you, but lots more to see....is it just me,but do think the Mona Lisa is very overrated.
@ElsieJoy39The humor is spot on.
@AlbertVamilesThis deserves way more likes.
@DomasNlonaaThe pacing was just right.
@thuy-n4g5bI was fortunate to visit the Louvre and saw the Mona Lisa, but also shocked to see how small it is, always thought it was bigger. đâ€
@noelenegreebe4313I think putting mummies in museums is unethical.
@MSgetsit43Great walk through, my girlfriend and I loved the tour!
@justinbays849Iâd LOVE a video of anything to do with Louve issues!!
@debmattosky3021Iâve run through the Louvre once at 25, strode through it at 45, and hobbled through at 57.
Itâs a lot to see, and wonderful, but unless I move to Paris and get a season pass or can have it to myself next time I think Iâll pass. Even my blisters got blisters.
The Musee Carnavalet is much more doable and less visited. Highly recommended.
Venus and Nike, are not objects of art, at all, they're Icons, France should give them back, to Greece in front of their sea, in Louvre, is cold all the time.
They should be by their sea, Venus was born by the foam of the sea.
Mona is a collective hysteria, she's not finished, she's a study of Leonardo ,in sfumatto, a study in light.
Many centuries after him, the study of light, was an obsession, from van Gogh to Mattise, all of them.
They didn't understand what light is, we don't know either .
Took my kids there last Halloween to see Mona Lisa, and for me to see the Dendera Zodiac. And yes, there was a crowd around the mummy, which I couldn't understand at the time. Please do the Tate Britain and include Delvaux - Sleeping Venus, Dadd - The Fairy Feller.s Master Stroke.
@IanHenningMove me out of here England đŽó §ó ąó „ó źó §ó ż
@deone2540I've been looking for someone that finally shares my interest in art, you explain so well and I can really feel your interest and passion. I'm going to the Louvre soon, thank you for these videos!!!
@adichiroiu8211Ok i am going to Paris for Louvre, thx for this.
@nuchzara97How the hell did you get that close to the Mona Lisa with no one around?
@kylepinheiro2376Thank you for the video and narrating stories of each of the 10 must see in the Louvre, I enjoyed your story telling tremendously.
@kim-lienngo-wah9583Going to Paris for the second time in two weeks. Thanks for your video. Especially the Egyptian wing. One thing though⊠Napoleon placing the crown on his own head was agreed upon before the coronation. The pope knew and understood the symbolism.
@thomasdriscoll6846Iâm sorry I have only just discovered your channel, Iâm hookedđȘ â€
@KirstyHidderleyHow did the Winged Victory happen to lose its head and arms and the Venus De Milo lose her arms I've always seen it before like that and I wondered what happened to both of them losing their parts
@garycarpenter6433Please clarify something
for me: I have heard the surname of the artist who painted the Coronation Of Napoleon pronounced as
"DAH- VEED" and "DAY-VID" the latter pronounced the same way we pronounce the FIrst Name.
Which is correct?
This artist is the same who painted the highly-controversial "Death Of Marat" which haunted David for the rest of his life, and was one of the reasons David was exiled to I believe it was Belgium for the rest of his life.
thank you for actually writting the name of the pieces of art on the video for us not to have to rewind 1000 times to get it, like many other youtubers makes us do!
@kszksz9383Ill never make it to these places so this is wonderful to get to see. So glad I found your channel. You're easy to follow and I appreciate your narration, I detest AI. Thank you for these opportunities to see and enjoy these beautiful pieces and your information is spot on. â€
@neilacrabtree1617Okay, that Louvre Mummy's face is really spooky, kinda pyramidic and utterly inhuman.
@HereticalKitsuneI loved Madonna of Raphael, just outside of the Monalisa room, and cupid and Psyche in the room with dying slaves.
@dipanwitadastidar5464I find mummies inherently fascinating and terrifying. There used to be a native one in New Mexico, at the Mesa Verde museum. They had given her an Anglican name, "Esther," and she was on prominent display. (The thing you said once about how museums are not neutral places applies here. This was my lesson in that concept, and I learned it early.) Anyway, Esther freaked me the fuck out I'm not gonna lie. I thought she was TERRIFYING, but I could stare at her for HOURS, transfixed. My uncle used to chase us around at our family's cabin after a visit to Mesa Verde, going, "If you're not good, Esther's gonna get ya! If you don't mind, I'm gonna take you back to the museum and make you sleep in Esther's room!" haha. She was returned to her descendants in the late 1990's or early 2000's. I am glad she is with her people, but I miss her being there to terrify children.
@honeybadgergrrl77Excellent video!!!
@JeremyAlbert-e3tare the ancient chessmen in the louvre?
@SkippackCougarHow many treasures did the Nazi's steal during WW 2?
@robertcombs55wow its pyramids shape
@DimasFajar-ns4vbYes! Please do a video on the most controversial objects in the Louvre. Love it!
@JoellaMeunierThanks for sharing.
