The Louvre is home to the three most famous works in Western art, which are must-see stops for almost every visitor. The Mona Lisa (Leonardo da Vinci): Located in the Denon Wing, this iconic portrait draws the largest crowds. Travelers will view it up close (behind glass) and witness its enigmatic smile that has captivated the world for centuries. The Venus de Milo: A masterpiece of ancient Greek sculpture depicting the goddess Aphrodite (Venus). Its missing arms add to its enduring mystery and classical beauty. It's found in the Sully Wing. The Winged Victory of Samothrace: This powerful, headless sculpture of the Greek goddess Nike (Victory) is dramatically displayed at the top of the Daru staircase in the Denon Wing. Its sense of dynamic movement, with drapery billowing in the wind, is breathtaking.
