Scandals: Louvre (Semi-Private) With Skip-The-Line Access

Skip the line and begin with a brief introduction to the Louvre as a palace before moving into Greek Hellenistic art, where sex was a part of daily life. Your guide will show you key pieces from this era with special attention to anatomy and masculinity in art before brining and bring you to the seductive Venus de Milo. From then you will move through Roman sculptures to see how icons from Christianity often have their roots in ancient Rome. You will also compare the male form to what you saw in the Greek collection. You will next see the Etruscan collection, including the sarcophagus of the Spouses. Your introduction into antiquity culminates with Winged Victory of Samothrace. From here, you will see one of the few rooms left in the louvre in its original condition and then move on to Italian renaissance. See how art evolved in such a short period of time. We will help you answer the question of who Mona Lisa really is and why Leonardo was so infatuated by « her ». From here you will see some of the most recent pieces in the louvre from French artists of the 19th century. Before you leave the museum, you will see one last gallery of sculpture including Michelangelo’s sexualised slaves!
