The Architectural History of the Louvre: 800 Years in Three Minutes via Open Culture

The image is a screenshot of a YouTube video titled The Louvre: 800 years of history. The video is in the process of playing, with the current time at 0:56 out of a total duration of 2:45. The video features a 3D architectural model of the Louvre, showcasing its layout and design. The model is overlaid on a detailed architectural drawing, highlighting the buildings structure and surrounding grounds. The Louvre is depicted as a large, fortified structure with a central castle-like building, surrounded by walls and various architectural elements. The date 1589 is visible, along with the name Catherine de Medici, indicating a historical context related to the period. The video interface includes options to Watch later, Share, and More videos, as well as a Subscribe button with a thumbnail of the Mona Lisa. The video is presented in a typical YouTube format, with a play/pause button, volume control, and a progress bar.</p> <p>Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B

Setting aside just one day for the Louvre is a classic first-time Paris visitor’s mistake. The place is simply too big to comprehend on one visit, or indeed on ten visits. To grow so vast has taken eight centuries, a process explained in under three minutes by the official video animated above. First constructed around the turn of the thirteenth century as a defensive fortress, it was converted into a royal residence a century and a half later. It gained its first modern wing in 1559, under Henri II; later, his widow Catherine de’ Medici commissioned the Tuileries palace and gardens, which Henri IV had joined up to the Louvre with the Grande Galerie in 1610.
