Then skip the line and head inside the museum for a carefully curated tour that highlights the most iconic works in its impressive collection. Your guide leads you to world-famous artwork including da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a 2nd century BC piece described as the world's “greatest masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture.”As you walk between the galleries, your guide brings the collection to life with fascinating tales of artists like Antonio Canova, Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, and Jacques-Louis David.
