The structure, which was constructed entirely with glass segments, reaches a height of 20.6 metres (about 70 feet); its square base has sides of 35 metres (115 ft). It consists of 603 rhombus-shaped and 70 triangular glass segments.
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.
