Pyramid

I.M. Pei's entrance to the Louvre. Endless lines of people by day but by midnight it is deserted. The golden glow creates a mystical aura for the pyramid. In Egypt, the pyramid was a "hill of light", symbol of the creative power of the sun and the immortality of the pharaoh. Here, the pyramid links the antiquities of the Louvre and man in the modern world.
