First built in the sixteenth century, the immense building had 2 courtyards and 2 stories high was designed by architect Pierre Lescot. The Louvre was massively extended by Visconti and Lefuel between 1853 and 1857. The glass pyramid was added to Louvre on request of the late French President Mitterrand which was designed by the renowned American architect I.M. Pei. The pyramid is in sharp contrast to the design of the surrounding buildings and for this reason it has received mixed reviews.
