TeeHee!
The glass pyramid, known as the Louvre Pyramid, serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum in Paris. It was designed by architect I. M. Pei and completed in 1989. The structure not only provides a modern contrast to the historic museum but also facilitates visitor access and improves the flow of foot traffic. Additionally, its glass design allows natural light into the underground lobby, enhancing the overall visitor experience.
The museum you are referring to is the Louvre Museum, which originally served as a royal palace for French kings. The iconic glass pyramid, designed by architect I. M. Pei, was inaugurated in 1989 and serves as the main entrance to the museum. Today, the Louvre houses an extensive collection of art and historical artifacts, including the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo.

Glass is used to build the pyramid located outside the Museum. Cement and Stone were used to construct the museum's walls and floor. Metals were used in the museum for railings and other purposes.
Well, I don't know anything that happened in 1990, but I know that the Louvre Pyramid was completed in 1989. Hope that helps.
