- Time travel to ancient Egypt -

Would you believe that you could meet pyramids and pharaohs in the middle of Paris?

The Egyptian Antiquities section of the Louvre Museum is a space that goes beyond simple archaeological exhibitions to vividly show the life and death of ancient civilizations that have lasted for thousands of years. In particular, the symbolism of the pharaohs and the legacy they left behind are the central axis of this exhibition and the key points of viewing.

Pharaohs, the absolute rulers of ancient civilizations
📍 Sully Hall, Basement Level, Egyptian Antiquities Section

The Egyptian section of the Louvre has over 50,000 artifacts, of which about 6,000 are permanently on display. Of these, the most notable are the statues, burial objects, inscriptions, and sarcophagi related to the pharaohs.

The pharaoh statues with overwhelming presence stare straight ahead and face the viewer. Although their expressionless faces contain both divinity and authority.

Tips for visiting the Louvre's Egyptian Museum
Start from the basement of the Sully Hall and follow the route to the first floor. It's organized in chronological order, making it easier to understand.
Pharaoh-related artifacts are mainly concentrated at the entrance and the central core area.
If you're short on time, be sure to check out the Seated Statue of Ramses II, the burial goods exhibition corner, and the Hieroglyph Stele! If you are traveling with children, the Egyptian Museum is a great choice for an interesting and educational experience.

Enjoying with the Egyptian Museum
After you’ve finished touring the Egyptian Museum, we recommend visiting the nearby Greek and Roman Museum or the Mesopotamian Museum to compare ancient civilizations.
Also, don’t forget to take a commemorative photo under the glass pyramid at the Cour Napoléon in the Louvre’s courtyard.
