The Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) in Paris, France, is the largest museum in the world. It is famous for holding several of the world's most prestigious works of art, such as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, The Virgin and Child with St. Anne, Virgin of the Rocks and Alexandros of Antioch's Venus de Milo.
In 2005, the Louvre received a record 7.3 million visitors in part due to the success of Dan Brown's 2003 novel The Da Vinci Code[1]—a significant boost of 22% compared to previous figures, placing the Louvre as the most visited monument in Paris.
