During your break in Paris, don’t miss the opportunity to visit one of the museums for which the city is justly famous. This autumn is particularly exciting due to a momentous new exhibition at the Louvre dedicated to the genius of Leonardo da Vinci. Don’t forget to book your room at the Hôtel du Continent, an excellent establishment located near the Louvre.

 

An exceptional cultural experience; Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre

The year 2019 marks the 500th anniversary of the death of the famous Leonardo da Vinci. This is of great importance to the Louvre, as this renowned museum boasts the world’s largest collection of paintings by the Florentine artist, as well as 22 of his drawings. This unprecedented retrospective shows how the Renaissance polymath raised painting to a higher level and offers an insight into his artistic techniques and practices. You will also learn about his life via archival documents. Featuring the Louvre’s own collection and items on loan from museums across the world, this is the greatest Leonardo da Vinci exhibition of all time.

 

A unique experience

Leonardo da Vinci at the Louvre is an ideal family outing, combining education and fun. Thanks to virtual reality, you’ll have the opportunity to interact with one of the master’s most famous paintings. ‘Head to Head with the Mona Lisa’ immerses you in this emblematic work and is an experience you’ll not soon forget. Given the expected attendance, this exhibition, which runs from October 24th, 2019 to February 24th, 2020, is accessible by reservation only. Tickets are available via the Louvre website. After visiting the exhibition, you can prolong your artistic journey with the refined decor of the Hôtel du Continent.
