Architecture
A wide variety of styles are found throughout the Louvre. The best known feature now is I.M. Pei's glass pyramid in the center of the courtyard - reviled by most, I kind of like it after seeing it in person. Also here is the Inverted Pyramid where, according to Dan Brown in "The DaVinci Code," is the location of the Holy Grail.
