Description
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a massive glass and metal pyramid surrounded by three smaller pyramids. It was designed by Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei. It is located in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre). The Pyramid was completed in 1988 as part of the broader Grand Louvre project and it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
More than 25.000 visitors enter through the pyramid each day and descend into the vast lobby before ascending to the Louvre's major structures.
In this black and white photo you can see the Pyramid reflected into the pod outside of the Louvre museum. The full moon shines in the night sky while the Louvre is beautifully lit.
