2016-10-02

      The Louvre is the oldest, largest, and most famous museum in the world. Located on the north bank (right bank) of the Seine River in the center of Paris, France, it was first built in 1204 and has undergone over 800 years of expansion and renovation to reach its current scale. The Louvre covers an area of approximately 45 hectares, with the building itself occupying 4.8 hectares. Its total length is 680 meters. The overall architecture is in a "U" shape, divided into new and old parts; the old part was built during the reign of Louis XIV, and the new part during the Napoleonic era. The pyramid-shaped glass entrance in front of the palace was designed by the Chinese architectural master I.M. Pei. At the same time, the Louvre is also the oldest royal palace in French history.
 
     In a multilingual and international visiting environment, creating a quiet and harmonious visiting atmosphere for visitors, and enabling them to gain an in-depth and thorough understanding of French culture and history during their visit, has always been a challenge faced by the Louvre. To address this practical issue, the Louvre has adopted Guanbiao self-guided tour and guide interpretation systems since 2007, allowing modern intelligent technology to empower ancient culture, and enabling visitors to freely and comprehensively explore the cultural world of the Louvre. This successful case marks that Guanbiao Technology's intelligent tour guide products and solutions in the field of tourism guidance have been recognized by the world's highest-level museums/exhibition halls, and is an important event in Guanbiao's development process.
