The Louvre Pyramid in Paris, France, is a striking modern architectural landmark situated in the courtyard of the historic Louvre Museum. Designed by the Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei, the pyramid was inaugurated on March 29, 1989. Constructed primarily from glass and metal, the structure serves as the main entrance to the museum, harmoniously blending contemporary design with the classical architecture of the surrounding buildings. The pyramid stands 21.6 meters (71 feet) tall and consists of 673 glass panes, creating a dazzling effect as it reflects light.
