SOME PARTS OF THE TOUR ARE ONLY ACCESSIBLE BY STAIRS, NOT RECOMMENDED FOR GUESTS WITH WALKING LIMITATIONS

TOUR SUMMARY

While passing by the Sphinx of Tanis, the Venus of Milo or the Victory of Samothrace, you will be surprised by all the queer figures the Louvre hides! What if the ancient « virgin » goddesses were not as chaste as we imagine and their female companions were more than just friends? What if the Mona Lisa was in fact a portrait of Leonardo’s lover?

On this tour, your guide will bring to light many mythological stories that show the queerness of many gods and goddesses and also provide a more inclusive and complete interpretation of works of art that were analyzed for too long from a heterosexual perspective.
