Louvre at Night Gallery

Hours, prices and access verified by the Louvre Tours team — last checked 2026-09-28.

The palace and its galleries in roughly the order an evening runs, from the courtyard to the crypt and back out to the Pyramid at blue hour. Weighing up louvre museum night tour options? These are the rooms your evening is built around.

The set opens outside, with the palace mirrored in the courtyard fountains and the glass Pyramid seen through a stone arch. Then it goes in: a glass-roofed courtyard of garden sculpture, a vaulted hall of ancient marble, and two lovers carved in white stone.

After that come the ceilings, painted and gilded, and a long gallery of pictures under a coffered vault. It ends underground, with a granite sphinx in the crypt and a painted pharaoh, the rooms you reach last on a route that starts at the famous works.
