Da Vinci Code Tour in Paris
Cracking Da Vinci Code in Paris
A tour exploring the art and ideas behind Dan Brown's best-selling thriller
The Da Vinci Code. You and your own private "symbologist" revisit Robert
Langdon's Parisian adventures in and around the Musée du Louvre. This tour begins and ends where his fictional caper does. Of course, the Louvre is so
much more than simply the setting where that breathless action unfolded. Its
works of art can answer many of the questions provocatively posed in the
book. Do Leonardo's paintings reveal hidden symbolism? Is the true nature of
Mary Magdalene's relationship with Christ expressed in paintings depicting
her? Is it really the case that Christian art recycles symbols from earlier
so-called "pagan" cultures? We'll visit galleries on and off the beaten
track— from Greek terra cottas to Renaissance masterpieces in the Grande
Galerie—in an effort to answer these questions and more. Join us in your own
half-day hunt for the truth.
Note: This tour is designed for the first-time visitor as well as those
already familiar with the Louvre's collection. If you are more interested in
a highlights tour of the Louvre's most well-known works, however, we
recommend reserving our Introduction to the Treasures tour.
Rates. €110 for individuals, or €95 per person for parties of two or more.
Includes price of admission. €20 surcharge to guarantee that your party has
a one-on-one tour with the instructor, without other parties. 4 person
maximum.

Leonardo da
Vinci
Our tour focuses primarily on the life and work of this Renaissance polymath—really
one of the book's main characters. We'll study several of his paintings in
the Grande Galerie, the actual gallery in the Louvre where the fictional
curator Jacques Saunière was found murdered. We’ll discuss hidden symbolism
in Leonardo's Virgin of the Rocks, St. John the Baptist, and androgyny in
his Mona Lisa.
Mary Magdalene
We’ll also delve into the fascinating history of Mary Magdalene by looking
at sculptures and paintings that feature her, such as Bronzino's beautiful
Noli Me Tangere (depicted). Are there any clues or indications that other
artists may have thought of her as the bride of Christ or as an early church
leader?
Goddess Imagery
The characters Robert Langdon and Jacques Saunière both specialized in it.
Author Dan Brown tells us that Langdon even wrote a book on "the concept of
female sanctity and the art and symbols associated with it." So, is there
such a thing as the lost sacred feminine in the history of art, and if so,
what can the Louvre's collection tell us about it?
"What is history, but a fable agreed upon?" Dan Brown doesn't quote
Napoleon's famous quip for nothing; it's one of the main themes of his book.
We think that in the history of art, it's the paintings themselves that
should have the final word. Join us in your own half-day hunt for the truth.
