The former
President François Mitterand wanted it, so the Chinese-American architect Ieoh
Ming Pei made it.
Opened on the 30th March 1989, the Louvre Pyramid marked a
turning point in the history of the Louvre Museum, which occupies the former
royal palace.
The structure is made of metal, as well as 603 diamonds and 70
triangles of plastic glass, and is located in the heart of the court of
Napoléon.
It has become an unmissable monument of Parisian architecture, in
front of which visitors like to have their photo taken.
