However, he has already read countless women, even in the face of Tang Hong, he will not run away.

Ye Chao went out alone, and Tang Hong said that she was here to smoke it, and it was not a pity to die. Now that people are not dead, they have half a life left, and they will no longer yell to find excitement, and if there is nothing to do for a while, Ye Chao will visit the Louvre, while Tang Hong is smoking a cigar and reminiscing about the madness of last night.
She likes this feeling, but unfortunately, this man is not something she can control, nor is it something she can "collect".
Otherwise, she really wanted to completely take He Ye Chao for herself.
The Louvre (French: Musée du Louvre) is located on the north bank of the Seine River in the heart of Paris, France, and is the first of the four major museums in the world.
Founded in 1204, it was originally a royal palace of France, where 50 French kings and queens lived, and is one of the most precious buildings of the French Renaissance, famous for its rich collection of classical paintings and sculptures.
Now the Louvre Museum, after more than 800 years of expansion and reconstruction to reach today's scale, covers an area of about 198 hectares, divided into two parts, the pyramid-shaped glass entrance in front of the palace, covers an area of 24 hectares, designed by the Chinese architect I.M. Pei.
On August 10, 1793, the Louvre Museum of Art was officially opened to the public as a museum.
The Louvre has a collection of more than 400,000 pieces of art, including sculptures, paintings, arts and crafts, and six categories, including the Orient, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
From ancient Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman artworks to works of art from the East, there are sculptures from the Middle Ages to modern times, as well as an astonishing number of royal curiosities and paintings.
The Louvre has become a world-famous temple of art, one of the largest art treasures, and a palace of all treasures that has attracted worldwide attention. It is one of the largest royal palace buildings in France, located on the banks of the Seine River in the capital Paris, on the south side of the Place de l'Opéra.
As early as 1546, King François I of France decided to build a new royal palace on the basis of the original castle, and since then it has been continuously expanded by nine monarchs, lasting more than 300 years, forming a magnificent palace complex in the shape of a U-shape.
The Louvre is one of the four major museums in the world, the palace was founded in 1204 and is famous for its rich collection of classical paintings and sculptures, and is one of the most precious buildings of the French Renaissance.
Its overall building is in the shape of a "U" and covers an area of 24 hectares, with a building area of 4.8 hectares. The Louvre is divided into six sections: the Gallery of Greek and Roman Art, the Gallery of Egyptian Art, the Gallery of Oriental Art, the Gallery of Painting, the Gallery of Sculpture and the Gallery of Decorative Arts.
The east façade of the Louvre is a representative work of European classicist architecture. According to statistics, the Louvre Museum covers an area of 19 hectares, including the courtyard, lying on the right bank of the Seine from east to west, with a length of 690 meters on both sides, and the whole building is magnificent and majestic.
The hundreds of spacious halls used to display the treasures are magnificent, with elaborate frescoes and intricate reliefs on the walls and ceilings.
The east façade of the Louvre is about 172 meters long and 28 meters high, and is divided into three parts according to a complete column from top to bottom: the base is the base, the middle section is a two-storey giant column, and then the eaves and parapets are above.
The main body is an empty colonnade formed by double columns. There are protrusions in the center and at each end, dividing the inside into five sections. The protruding parts at both ends are decorated with pilasters, while the central part is decorated with chair posts with mountain flowers, so that the main axis is clear.
It was guarded by a moat in front of the façade, and a bridge was erected in front of the gate. The façade that unfolds horizontally is divided into 5 sections on the left and right, and 3 sections on the top and bottom, all of which are mainly composed of the central section. The traditional French sloping roof has been replaced by an Italian-style flat roof, and the east façade of the Louvre has small openings in high pedestals for access.
Founded in 1204, the Louvre was originally the royal palace of France, where 50 French kings and queens lived. Now the Louvre Museum, it has a collection of 35,000 works of art, including sculpture, painting, art and craft, and seven categories: Ancient Oriental, Ancient Egyptian, and Ancient Greco-Roman. On August 10, 1793, the Louvre Museum of Art was officially opened to the public as a museum.
Since then, the collection has grown here, not to mention the artistic tributes that Napoleon requisitioned to those conquered countries. The museum's catalogue includes 400,000 works of art, ranging from ancient Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan and Roman artworks to works of art from the Orient, sculptures from the Middle Ages to modern times, as well as a staggering number of royal curiosities and paintings.
To date, the Louvre has become a world-renowned temple of art.
More than 400,000 works of art from all over the world are exhibited by the French in six exhibition halls according to their origin and type, namely the Oriental Art Museum, the Ancient Greek and Roman Art Museum, the Ancient Egyptian Art Museum, the Treasure Museum, the Painting Museum and the Sculpture Museum.
Among them, the painting gallery has the most exhibits and covers the largest area.
The Louvre district has 198 exhibition halls, the largest of which is 205 meters long. It is impossible to enjoy all the rarities in a day or two. Although the Louvre Museum has a rich collection, it is difficult for the audience to get a glimpse of the true face of Lushan.
Because its six pavilions are basically open on Mondays and Wednesdays, the remaining four days are open in turn, and only half are open on Sundays. And the exhibits only account for 1/3 of the total collection. Today, it has 15,000 paintings, but only about 2,000 are on display, so very few people are lucky enough to see the entire collection of the Louvre.
Surrounded by 400,000 works of art, anyone can imagine the deposition of emotions about the art itself or the history hidden in it – this is the charm of the Louvre
The Louvre was built in 1204 when it was just Philippe? The castle of the palace of August II. In 1204, during the Crusades, in order to defend the Paris region on the north bank, Philip II built a castle here that opened to the Seine, mainly for the archives and treasures of the royal family, but also for his dogs and prisoners of war, which was then called the Louvre.
During the reign of Charles V, the Louvre was used as a royal palace, making it a completely different building.
Over the next 350 years, as the royal family and nobles demanded more and more pleasures, they continued to add ornate towers and chic rooms. For the next 150 years, however, the Louvre was not inhabited by a king.
In the middle of the 16th century, when Francis I succeeded to the throne, the palace was demolished. He ordered it by the architect Peel? Lesco rebuilt a palace on the basis of the original castle. Francis also asked a famous painter of the time to paint a portrait of him, and he admired the painters of the Italian school and bought paintings by Faelo, the most famous Italian painter of the time.
Including treasures such as the Mona Lisa. When Francis I's son, Henry II, came to the throne, he rebuilt what his father had destroyed. Henry loved the decoration of French Renaissance architecture and was not interested in Italian architecture.
He followed his father's hobbies, but did not have the same aesthetic as his father.
During the reign of Henry IV, it took him 13 years to build the most spectacular part of the Louvre, the Grand Gallery.
It is a gorgeous corridor 300 meters long, the corridor is very long, and Henry planted trees here, kept birds and dogs, and even rode horses to hunt foxes in the corridor. Louis XIV was a famous king in French history, and he was known as the Sun King. He was only five years old when he ascended the throne and had been king of the Louvre for 72 years – the longest-reigning king in French history.
Louis XIV built the Louvre into a square courtyard and built a palatial gallery outside the courtyard. He bought paintings from various schools in Europe, including works by Cashdai, Rembrandt, and others.
His lifelong fascination with art and architecture left France's coffers empty. During the reign of Louis XVI, the famous Revolution of 1789 broke out, and the first guillotine of the French Revolution was erected in the courtyard of the Louvre "Hippodrome".
On May 27, 1792, the National Assembly declared that the Louvre would belong to the masses. On August 10, 1793, the Louvre Museum of Art was officially opened to the public as a public museum. This state of affairs continued for 6 years, until Napoleon I moved into the Louvre.
Napoleon built more houses on the periphery of the building and strengthened the wings of the palace, as well as arches in the arena courtyard, on which the first carved horses were taken from the Basilica of San Marco in Venice.
Napoleon decorated the Louvre like never before, and he brought into the Louvre the best works of art that the rest of Europe had to offer. Napoleon's expansion and dominance in Europe led to the transportation of thousands of tons of art from the temples, libraries and Catholic churches of all the conquered countries to Paris.
Napoleon renamed the Louvre Musée Napoleon, and the huge promenade was filled with the works of art he looted. In the Louvre, Napoleon's brilliance lasted for 12 years, all the way to the crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
For Napoleon, every work of genius had to belong to France. Such an opinion was unacceptable to the Germans, Italians, Spaniards and Dutch.
After Napoleon's loss of power, they came to the Louvre, where about 5,000 works of art were returned to their original owners. However, due to the diplomacy of the French and the persuasiveness of the French, many of the works of art he plundered were still left in the Louvre.
Napoleon III was an ambitious emperor, and he was the most invested "builder" the Louvre has ever encountered since its construction, building more in 5 years than all its predecessors had built in 700 years.
The grandiose blueprints conceived three centuries ago were left to Napoleon III to complete, and when it was completed, the Louvre became a place for royal celebrations, and the opulence was the hallmark of anything that Napoleon III built.
In this way, it was not until the reign of Napoleon III that the entire magnificent complex of the Louvre was completed, almost 600 years before and after.
In September 1981, François? At a press conference after his election as President of the French Republic, Mitterrand promised to "restore the Louvre to its original purpose", referring to the move of the Treasury from the "Richelieu flank". Built between 1852~1857, the "Richelieu Wing" is 195 meters long and 80 meters wide, and is an integral part of the Louvre, which has been occupied by the Ministry of Finance since 1871.
In July 1989, then Minister of Finance Edward ? Baladil did not leave this pleasing place until he repeated his requests. The retraction and opening of the "Richelieu Wing" suddenly increased the Louvre's exhibition area by 21,500 square meters, 3 courtyards and 165 new exhibition halls, with a total of 12,000 works of art on display, of which 3,000 were taken out of the storage room, thus greatly increasing the number of exhibits in the Louvre Museum.
