What to expect

This is the major exhibition of the season: the Louvre Museum pays tribute to Leonardo da Vinci on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of his death. Beyond the Mona Lisa, visitors can admire in the grand Napoleon Hall, The Virgin of the Rocks, The Belle Ferronnière, or Saint John the Baptist. Explore the talents and various facets of the personality of this Florentine genius, who was not only a painter but also a scientist, philosopher, inventor, and engineer... and who continues to fascinate.

Note: The Louvre expects a large influx of visitors for this exhibition. Reservation with a time slot is mandatory.
