Hemingway once wrote at the beginning of *A Moveable Feast*: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast." The Louvre holds an unshakable place in this 'feast.' Located on the north bank of the Seine in the center of Paris, it is also the foremost of the four great museums of the world. Besides housing the world's three treasures—the Venus de Milo, the *Mona Lisa* painting, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace—the 'Glass Pyramid' designed by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei is another highlight that perfectly blends modern science with Renaissance art.
