The museum closes, the courtyard stays open. After 10 pm the glass pyramid belongs only to strollers, skaters and couples photographing themselves in its reflections. Museum late opening on Fridays until 9:45 pm.
The right time
11 pm: the Cour Napoléon to yourselves, the pyramid glowing from below.
Lights
Pyramid and façades lit until 1 am; ticket desks closed by then, the courtyard stays reachable through the passages.
The photo spot
The Sully pavilion behind the pyramid, framed in the small Carrousel arch; or the inverted pyramid seen from above, place du Carrousel.
The tip
The Louvre holds its LGBT+ Night every June, with the collections revisited through a queer lens — watch the calendar.
