Louvre/ The museum that takes 100 days to see everything

The world-famous Louvre Museum is not just a space for paintings. Originally built as a fortress and then converted into a royal palace, it became a symbol of French history and is today considered the largest art museum in the world.

According to estimates, if a visitor wanted to see every work of art on display, it would take them about 100 days. Currently, the Louvre exhibits about 35,000 works of art. If a person were to stop for just 30 seconds in front of each one, it would take them about 291 hours to see them all. At an average of three hours a day, this translates to about 100 days of visiting.

In total, the museum owns over 380,000 objects, but only a fraction of them are on display. The exhibition space extends over 72,735 square meters and is divided into three main wings: Denon, Sully and Richelieu. Inside are Egyptian artifacts, Greek sculptures, Renaissance paintings, Islamic art and Napoleon's apartments.

Most visitors stay for two to four hours. Within three hours, about 360 works of art can be seen, approximately 1% of the collection on display. This estimate does not include gallery walks, breaks, or waiting in line, which further reduces this percentage.

Meanwhile, a sensational museum robbery has also drawn attention, where jewelry worth around 88 million euros was reported stolen. French prosecutor Laure Beccuau described the amount as "extraordinarily high", emphasizing that the greatest damage is related to France's historical heritage.
