• Just as a point of reference, I have been more than a dozen times and I haven’t seen the entire museum. Make sure you get your tickets in advance so you don’t waste your time in line and make sure you line up your time slot for the Delacroix exhibition, it’s amazing! Over a year ago.
• I am wondering in this busy season, although I have booked a slot for 4 pm on Wednesday for louvre how early do I need to be there and once I am there do I stand in a line or go straight up to the security?
