Private Events– musée du Louvre

8 pyramide hall napoleon The Louvre Pyramid has secured its place among the monuments that embody Paris in the eyes of the world. Though it was once controversial, today it is impossible to imagine the main entrance to the museum without the iconic 21-metre pyramid designed by I.M. Pei. The perfect geometry of its glass and steel structure stands in striking contrast to the surrounding Napoleon III buildings. During the daytime, the pyramid mirrors the Paris sky; after nightfall, it shines as brightly as the City of Light. Under the pyramid, the Hall Napoléon, a vast reception area outfitted entirely in Chassagne Beige stone and white concrete, harmoniously complements the pure geometry of its formal design, an exemplary feat of contemporary architecture comprising straight and oblique lines, triangles and pyramidions, circular and spiral motifs. Available for private events on Tuesdays, when the museum is closed, the pyramid can acommodate up to 1,500 guests for dinner, and up to 3,000 guests for cocktail receptions. Floor space:2,500 square metres Seating capacity: up to 1,500 guests Standing capacity: up to 3,000 guests for dinners, and cocktail.
