Can I take photos inside the museum?
Photos are allowed and encouraged during the tour. However, many pieces, including the Mona Lisa, have strict regulations which prohibit the use of flash photography.
What happens when parts of the museum close?
Different exhibits or wings of the Louvre may be closed during your visit based on the discretion of the museum staff. Luckily, your private guide has expertise to adjust your tour and help you discover other treasures so your experience is still top-notch.
