Virtual Louvre
If you’ve read Dan Brown’s fiction thriller “The Da Vinci Code,” you probably have a craving to visit the Louvre in Paris and follow the trail of enigmatic riddles left behind by the murdered museum curator. Don’t hesitate to pay a “visite virtuelle” right now at the Louvre web site, featuring more than 60 panoramic QuickTime VRs of the museum’s interior and exterior.
In the VRs of the exterior, you can view the architectural masterpiece of the Louvre itself, as well as the stunning glass Pyramid at the museum entrance. From the VRs of the interior, explore the long parquet hallway of the Grand Gallery filled with amazing artwork and the room now closed for renovation, Salle des Etats, home of Leonardi Da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” and “The Virgin on the Rocks.”
