Why Louvre-Lens matters
Louvre-Lens is a sleek, glass-and-aluminium museum built on a former coal mine. A long gallery shows masterpieces from the Louvre's collection in a timeline. It is a short train ride from Lille. The surrounding park is pleasant for a walk and the building itself is worth seeing from outside.
Talking points
