After entering the main courtyard of the museum, turn left and go straight to the famous bronze statue of the "Gate of Hell". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 As mentioned earlier, Rodin did not complete this work until his death, which was financed by the City of Paris after his death.

This "Gate of Hell" is the hotbed of Rodin's series of "Divine Comedy" works. Those who have a lot of time can study here little by little which ** work comes from where on this door.

For example, at the top is the "Three Shadows", below it is the "Thinker", and in the upper right corner of the door frame is the "Kiss"; At this level, I am still reflecting on life, and the further down I go, the more sinful I become, and all the sins depicted are human beings.

Walking along the garden, there are also the famous statue of Balzac, the Six Righteous Men of Calais, Eve on the Rock, etc.; These are famous statues that have been repeatedly copied by countless art institutions and areas with a bit of an artistic atmosphere.

You can see it all here. What impressed Ann Chuyu more was the "Six Righteous Men of Calais" (also known as the "Righteous People of Calais"), because this statue appeared in the movie "Guardian of Monuments" mentioned in the previous travelogue. When the Allies saw them silently in the bushes, they thought they were real people.

Baidu knew at a glance that the "Six Righteous Men of Calais" was a work made by Rodin at the request of the Calais city authorities. During the Hundred Years' War, the British ** team captured the French city of Calais, and Calais was besieged by the British army for two years. After negotiations, King Edward III put forward harsh conditions.

The city of Calais had to elect six noble citizens to be put to death, and it was decreed that they should go out of the city bareheaded, barefoot, with their necks chained, and with the keys to the city in their hands, so that they could protect the city. This is a historical tragedy that the French people will never forget.

The famous "Thinker" is located in the middle of the museum's garden, and there are many onlookers. This first statue of the Thinker was the most primitive, originally erected outside the Panthéon in accordance with Rodin's wishes. Later, when there was the Musée Rodin Museum, this bronze statue was erected here.

He was supposed to sit at the top of the "Gates of Hell". Later, it was ** out and magnified three times to become what it is now. There were too many people, and Ann didn't get close to her first encounter; But having touched the replica of the bronze statue countless times, I know the tension of the muscle lines on this statue.

The giant bent over, bent on his knees, with his right hand resting on his chin, contemplated the tragedy that had taken place beneath (in fact, the sins of the people at the gates of hell). His deep gaze and his lips biting into fists. Manifests a feeling of extreme anguish.

His muscles were tense, and he was not only engrossed in thought, but also in distress; The tightly flexed tendons of the calves and the spasmodically bent toes powerfully convey this painful emotion. Just looking at him with his eyes, he may feel that he is very calm, and he can touch it when he reaches out, and this kind of calm and hidden power on the surface is even more thought-provoking.

While most of Rodin's famous statues are on display in the garden, there are many other famous works in the interior. It's free today, though. So there are so many people who want to enter the indoor tour for free. An Chuyu and An Qingju finally did not resist the sleepiness and fled back to the apartment in the afternoon.

Finally wrote to the Louvre. An Chuyu didn't know if he could use a travelogue to write about An Chuyu and An Qingju's travel process and An Chuyu's feelings and An Qingju's feelings.

But An Chuyu can only give it such a large space, because An Chuyu is not qualified to write more. Too many professional treatises and even travel books are written about this one museum. If you want to know how to shop, if you want to know how to research, you don't need to read this travelogue. Here are just a few personal feelings.

Prompt. The official website of the Louvre has a Chinese page. You can download the PDF map directly from the official website in advance.

1. The Louvre is too big, and those who have been there probably have experienced that if you don't solve the above three emergencies, you will really have painful memories left.

One says buy tickets. Louvre tickets can be bought at the Louvre. It is also possible to buy it a day in advance. Come back the next day; Museum passes (2, 4, 6) can also be purchased. A ticket is also called a one-day ticket, which means that it is valid for all days. You can go out to eat halfway through and show your ticket to come in.

Two talk about how to get in the door. There are three steps to enter the museum door. Security check first, then buy tickets, and then enter the museum; If you have a museum pass, skip the second step. The main entrance to the Place du Louvre is the pyramid in the middle.

The first step is at the entrance to the pyramid; Step 2: After entering, follow the spiral staircase to the ground floor to buy tickets, and the ticket counter is available in all four directions. There are also self-service ticket machines; The third step to enter the museum is that there are three entrances to Richeliu - north, Sully - east, and denon - south.

At the main entrance, the longest queue is actually on the ground waiting for security. This is not the most crowded time in the photo, because it is not past 8 o'clock in the morning, or it is raining on the right. On a sunny day during the tourist season, the queue can circle the glass pyramid of the Louvre like mosquito coils. The sight can only be described in two words: horror.

With a museum pass, you can definitely walk the piorityline. Just ask the staff. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to speak, as long as you light up the pass, people will naturally point out. Those who don't have a pass first have to wait in a long queue outside for security to enter, and then wait in a long queue to buy a ticket when they enter the pyramid.

If you have a pass, you can go through a special channel to enter the museum quickly, and you can enter the museum directly without buying a ticket. More than 90% of visitors enter the Louvre from the main entrance in a circle around the pyramid. In fact, there are three entrances to the Louvre.

The purple circle entrance door is above ground and the red circle entrance is underground, but both entrances eventually lead to the underground Pyramid Hall, which then enters through the Museum entrance to the Pyramid Hall. Walking through these two entrances will save you a lot of time in the security queue.

Only the entrance with the blue circle, the "Lion Entrance", is different. This entrance is on the ground level, and the security check and entrance to the museum can be handled at this entrance. There is no fast-track access to this entrance, but very few people know about it, and even when it is very crowded, few people enter from here.

An Chuyu and An Qingju couldn't figure out the situation when they first entered the Louvre, which is completely understandable. But when they came out of the Louvre, An Chuyu and An Qingju, two idlers, specially took a look around the museum carefully to confirm that the above information was correct. Later, An Chuyu and An Qingju both took the lion entrance or other entrances.

Third, talk about the problem of eating. Eating is not allowed inside the Louvre, and theoretically water is not allowed. If you're bringing a lot of food for Picknick, it's a good idea to keep your bag at the entrance.

If you don't bring food, pack lightly into the Louvre. The problem of eating is also easy to solve. The atrium below the pyramid leads to the underground shopping area, where there are many restaurants, including many fast food outlets, which are easy and inexpensive.

As long as you have a ticket for the day, you can enter the Louvre again after dinner and show your ticket. Don't bring food or go hungry anymore!

Four talk about going to the toilet. In fact, there are a lot of toilets in the Louvre. Each layer. Around every corner. It's free and it's clean. But 80% of visitors gather at the Denon Pavilion on the south side to see the Louvre's "Three Treasures" (Mona Lisa, Venus, and the bow of the Goddess of Victory), and the toilets in the vicinity are overcrowded, usually in long queues.

If you come to play by yourself, as long as you "endure" a little more and turn to the Sully Pavilion or the Richelieu Pavilion, then you can go at any time. Five said photography. Just one word. Photography is allowed at the Louvre, as long as the flash is not on.

Six said tour guides. If you are in a group, you don't have to think about it. For free travel, option 1 can bring a map of the Louvre; Option 2: You can buy a detailed manual at the Louvre bookstore; Option 3: You can rent an audio guide. But there is no Chinese.

Plan 4 can ask a tour guide from the Louvre alone, this needs to be booked in advance, I don't know if there is a Chinese tour guide, the estimated price is expensive. An Chuyu and An Qingju took options 1 and 2.

2. Tours at the Louvre

Once you've settled down, let's enjoy the artwork. During these days of visiting the Louvre, An Chuyu and An Qingju liked to discuss the exhibits inside, and they also especially liked to discuss the topic of "how to visit the Louvre better".

So, An Chuyu didn't want to write about what exhibits An Chuyu saw here. I just want to share a little with everyone who wants to go to the Louvre. Jiang Xun said in the book "Jiang Xun's Louvre". "Many people go to the Louvre and feel that they can't miss any of these works.

In fact, as much as 400,000 pieces of the collection. It is also difficult for a person to appreciate it all in his life. Therefore, when you walk into the Louvre, no matter how long you stay, whether it is a day, a day, a week, or a month, you should have a rough plan of what you want to see, but don't feel like you've seen it all. There's no point in 'reading it all'.

It's important to plan well and determine which parts you're most interested in. Or choose a few masterpieces that you can't miss, see one, feel it, and tell yourself. It's worth it. ”

Truly. As long as you plan it properly - you still have to plan it, no matter how long you go to the Louvre, you will get something to gain. According to his own experience, An Chuyu divided the tour of the Louvre into. 2-hour version; Half-day edition; One-day edition; Three-day edition; n day edition. 2 hours - half-day version.

Ann Chuyu assumes that the 2-hour tour is not a 2-hour tour with a group - then you just have to follow along, don't lose yourself. Assuming that you are coming to Paris on a business trip, you can only arrange yourself to stay at the Louvre for about 2 hours, and you don't need to do too much homework, just have a map.

Only a 2-hour tour, Ann's first encounter suggested this. 1. Be sure to check out the other entrances mentioned in Ann's first encounter in the previous travelogue to save yourself time in queue. It is not advisable to enter through the lion entrance, as you will get lost.

2. Don't miss the Louvre's "Three Treasures". Mona Lisa's smile, Miró's Venus, Victory statue. Don't worry, the museum is very considerate, they are all very close, go directly to the entrance of the Denon Museum, and then go straight up to the first floor (the French call it rez-de-chaussee, which means grandfloor).

The Venus de Miro is located on the ground floor, in a corner room 16; Then go upstairs from the stairwell of the Denong Pavilion and you will be able to look up directly at the Goddess of Victory from the front; Go further to the 2nd floor (the 1st floor in France) and in Hall 7 you will see the Mona Lisa, which is always the most crowded.

3. After seeing the three treasures of the town hall, you have been to the Louvre. Then it's best to calm down and turn around and look at the giant Wedding at Cana (Veronese) across from the Mona Lisa. (To be continued.) )
