The Louvre is ever changing. On the official web site is the quote 'Open to all since 1793'. Originally a fortress built in the 12th century by Phillippe August, it later became a royal palace in the 16th century during the reign of François I. Henry the IV joined the Louvre to the Tuileries (built for Catherine de Medicis) in 1594, creating a huge double palace. The pyramid entrance by Ieoh Ming Pei is just tewnty years old in 2009.
