The Louvre Pyramid is a precise geometric structure of glass and metal that rises twenty-one point six meters from the center of the Cour Napoléon. It is composed of six hundred seventy-three individual panes—six hundred three rhombuses and seventy triangles—held by a steel frame. Inaugurated in nineteen eighty-nine, this structure acts as the primary entrance to the museum, funneling visitors into a subterranean lobby designed to link the palace's three wings.
