Louvre Pyramid

The Louvre Pyramid is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard of the Louvre Palace in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.

    Nothing like seeing the REAL thing. I wouldn't want to waste time to go and see those in China - see on Discovery Channel or National Geographic even better...
