built 633 days ago
In the middle of the Louvre is a pyramid, metallic in appearance. Most proclaim it to be the ugliest thing they have ever seen. Thus, many have pondered its creation and wondered how any man could have intentionally built such a hideous structure.

One of the most blatant errors in The Da Vinci Code involves the famous Louvre pyramid. [SPOILER ALERT] This has got to have been one of the EASIEST things for him to have checked, with the museum being the central location of the story and in fact the final resting place of Mary's bones.

You can enter via the glass pyramid like everyone else, but you can ... get to the ticket office through the Louvre mall (access on rue de Rivoli) underneath the museum. This can save you one of the two lines you might wait through. Sometimes, however, there is a line here as well to get in.
