Nearly six million visitors come to the Louvre every year to marvel at its
collections. They all know the Mona Lisa or the Venus de Milo, and some of
them come to admire the pyramid designed by PeT. However, very few visitors
know that they are entering a building that is more than eight centuries old. This
is a monument whose walls have welcomed the greatest figures in the history of
I France. Constantly reshaped, demolished and rebuilt, the Louvre still bears the
signs of an age-old history, sometimes happy, sometimes tragic.
Thanks to your investigation with Morgan, you’ll be able to discover,the nooks
and crannies of the Louvre castle. Many of its historical rooms hay® been
reconstructed using plans and ancient documents. They will accurately conjure
up the decorations of the period. Ypw will meet many historical characters who
have left their mark on their time. Their reactions, behaviour and psychological
profile in the game scrupulously match the information that modern historians
haveonthem.
