Opened in 1989 (the bicentenary of the French Revolution), the new entrance to the museum has become the veritable symbol of the Louvre. Formal simplicity and high technology were the keys to this project conceived by architect Ieoh Ming Pei, both in the gossamer-like glass and metal structure and in the visitor reception area. The Pyramid stands almost 22 meters high on a base 30 meters wide. It is made up of nearly eight hundred diamond- and triangle-shaped glass panes especially designed by Saint-Gobain to offer an ideal transparency.
