Overview of your Paris tour:

Within the eight departments of the Louvre, there is one that is enjoyed by every Ancient Egypt fan, since its opening in 1826. Featuring the mysterious daily life of the Pharaohs, from Narmer (around 3100 BC) up to the conquest of Alexander the Great in 332BC, this part of the Louvre is full of surprises. Napoleon was fascinated by this ancient civilization and during his campaign in Egypt, he took with him 175 persons charged to discover and study the remains of the ancient Egypt on the Nile valley. In 1826, 9000 pieces arrived in this Ancient Egypt department. It has been one of the oldest in the world, presenting pieces from the prehistoric period, to the Ancien, Medium and New Empire as well as the Ptolemaic period. Thus 4 500 years of human History are displayed in one museum, presenting one of the richest collection to visit.
