save the world's art treasures.
    Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris,France.The
works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.The Louvre has not always
been a museum.The first building was a fort (炮台).In 1190,it was the king's castle with high walls and a
round tower.It had a moat to prevent his enemies from walking in.

artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" is the best known painting in the museum
