## What is Louvre Museum Audio Guide?

Visiting the Louvre is like seeing five mega museums in one. You can reach the moon seven times before you can walk the entire length of this magnificent museum! There are separate sections for antiquities, paintings, decorative arts, royal apartments, and, interestingly, a section devoted to the dark history of the Louvre itself. For it was once a Medieval castle with a picturesque moat, and its bulwarks guarded the city and its royal residences. Over time, though the palace outgrew the castle and with that, the latter gradually lost its utilitarian value. This part of Louvre’s history is still being preserved in its womb and to see it you need the guts to walk through the deep bowels of the museum that are only accessed via the gated access to the Sully wing. Undoubtedly, this is the oldest part of the building that still holds some of its past secrets. In its next life, the Louvre became a vast and sprawling palatial residence for the rich kings of France, and this is preserved in the vestiges of the Richelieu wing of the museum, like a time capsule. Then came the Revolution. Today the Louvre is neither. Far from a castle, far from a palace, it is today a museum. Its bulwarks guard the Mona Lisa and its royal residents are inanimate, invaluable artworks. Napoleon’s conquests were so large and many that entire sections of the palace were converted to keep the war booty. Later, some were returned, many were not!

Millions of people come to see these artworks every year, and on the day of your visit you will share the floor with thousands of weary feet. The museum is hard to comprehend, a maze to navigate, a nightmare to book tickets, and these complexities mean you will easily lose your bearings. Despite paying a hefty sum for the tickets you will hardly get a glimpse of your favourite works and a normal visitor will walk the museum for several hours, yet walk out feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, exhausted, disappointed and thoroughly disoriented. To avoid these pitfalls we advise you to meticulously plan your route, do a good deal of homework, and go over your chosen route again and again using our app. That, really is the only way to make sure you finish in time and not miss anything. Make no mistake - you are visiting a very overpriced, overwhelming and overcrowded space. Whilst other people are mulling over another visit, yet another pricey ticket, more inhospitable queues and mazes of corridors to navigate, thanks to the app, you will be done and dusted and on your way to see the next attraction, visit the Eiffel Tower or enjoy a well-deserved meal! 

Although you will find lots of people and artworks in the Louvre, what you won’t find are free toilet cubicles or a good internet connection! This is why it's important to have a fully offline audio guide, and with this app that is exactly what we are talking about - audio for over a thousand highlights at your fingertips! Once downloaded, you can use the app anytime, anywhere without internet connectivity. Without meaning to brag, the app provides the best short tours of the museum, which are basically superb itineraries covering its top highlights. Local expert tours may do the same tour for such a short time but they may be pricey or unavailable to book.

In these tours, you will see 
- Greek antiquities, Venus de Milo, Victory of Samothrace
- Roman art: Borghese gladiator, Borghese vase, Michelangelo's slaves
- Italian paintings: Mona Lisa by Da Vinci, Wedding feast at Cana by Poussin
- Castle and moat
- French works by Delacroix and Ingres
- Ancient Egyptian sculptures
- Code of Hammurabi
- Napoleon III apartments
- Arts of Africa and Islam

The comprehensive guide puts U in the middle of the Louvre! Get, Set, Go with hundreds of highlights to explore.

And… 

What better way to enjoy the Louvre than listening to all the wonderful descriptions as you walk? So, do take your headphones, Bluetooth, or earphones and transform your museum buddy into your personal audio guide!

### 3/5 — Audio-Sprache kann nicht umgestellt werden?

*2025-01-04*

Ich finde keine Möglichkeit, nachträglich die Sprache der Audio Ausgabe zu ändern. Schade. Deutscher Text wäre natürlich auch noch schön.

### 1/5 — Audio didn’t work

*2022-12-08*

Paid to download this app while in the louvre and the audio wouldn’t download. Tried several times with and without WiFi but it never would work. Everything else in the app & my phone was working just fine except that part- which is what I wanted it for most! Save your money and just get the audio your from the museum

### 4/5 — Has improved

*2022-02-19*

This app has improved quite a bit since some of the negative reviews a while back. It now has good audio quality. It has excellent photos, with from multiple angles for some of the important works. The photos look quite good on my iPhone 13.  I’m sitting at home, a long ways from Paris, but enjoy using the app to explore the museum’s remarkable set of art treasures and learning more about works I saw in past trips.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy!!

*2019-02-15*

Spend the money on a rental from the Louvre.  Not all the main pieces of art are listed.  Sometimes it is difficult to navigate the map.  The speaker repeats words.  I’m very very disappointed as it negatively impacted my Louvre experience.  Should’ve read reviews first.

### 1/5 — fake voice and bad design

*2018-11-04*

Not an actual audioguide it’s only text with synthetic voice reading, design looks like ios4, don’t spend a cents on this app it’s pure scam.

### 1/5 — Audio is robotic

*2018-10-15*

Just got this app specifically for the audio tour. The audio voice is robotic from a computer and not a persons voice. After listening to two of these I was completely turned off from this app. Pictures are good but I purchased the app to avoid having to get the audio device at the Louvre...waste of money

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money on the audio

*2018-06-08*

While the written details are informative, the monotonous cadence of the computer-generated voice detailing historic works of art that would have been spiritually uplifting ended up just being plain old frustrating.

### 1/5 — Terrible - waste of money

*2018-05-07*

This is a terrible app - the voice is just electronic voice. Hard to listen to.  Couldn’t find most of the art works on the app.  Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-01-07*

This is terrible, and description is very misleading. The “audio tour” is read by a computer in an absolutely flat monotone. We couldn’t stand listening to it

### 1/5 — Don't bother!

*2017-04-12*

A completely useless piece of junk. Don't waste your money. The app is barely a millimeter above the useless official printed map.
