Well, so far that I've learned (im doing a research project on this for school, and I've actually VISITED the Musee du louvre), la pryrimide inversee or the inverse pyramid was built by I. M. Pei. This stands in the "courtyard of the building in all its glory. It is actually aa amazing as it sounds, trust me. Also, it was built as a palace at first, so it has one larger end, with two long, skinny arms coming off. Also, I think (if i remember correctly), that the outside was completely made out of stone, or at least most of it was. It also has an underground, more modern area, were the "inverse" of the pyramid was located. It was so cool since it was completely made of glass. It was also in my favorite movie, The Da Vinci Code, which had Tom Hanks, I think, in it. The only thing that could've made the movie better was if Sandra Bullock was in in. Also, the Rose Line, the original meridian running from the North to South Poles, runs through La Pyramid Inversee. I also learned that from the movie. Yes, it's that awesome.
