LEGO 21024 Louvre

Build a LEGO® model of the Louvre, the world's largest art museum. Located in the heart of Paris on the banks of the River Seine, this beautiful structure, known for its striking blend of Renaissance and Modernist architecture, welcomes more than 9 million visitors a year and is home to more than 35,000 works of art, including Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa . The Louvre began its life as a fortress, built by King Philip Augustus in 1190 to protect Parisians from foreign invasion, and has undergone a number of renovations since then. The result is the architecturally stunning Louvre we know today. This detailed LEGO model features the prominent Pavillon de l'Horloge and the iconic, once controversial glass pyramid designed by famed Chinese-American architect IM Pei.
