Vignette of paris

The year 1981 heralded the beginning of the Grand Louvre with the annexation of the Richelieu wing. Leoh Ming Pei was appointed in 1983 to develop a new grand entrance to accommodate the growing number of visitors and to reorganize the museum’s interior. It was a project that sparked hatred from the general public. Nowadays, the pyramid is loved by visitors and Parisians alike. More than just an entrance in the palace courtyard, the great pyramid has become a symbol of the Louvre – Paris, France
