A first visit, one image at a time

We will start under the Pyramid and go from the Greek galleries to the Denon wing. There are bodies turning in marble, paintings large enough to fill a wall and a portrait much smaller than its fame might suggest. We will look at the building too, because these works are seen inside rooms with earlier uses. If you have not entered yet, use an open museum entrance and pass security. In the Hall Napoléon, pause clear of queues and find the signs for Sully. Our first stop is in this reception hall. Keep your ticket ready before heading towards the collections.
