Louvre Pyramid coloring pages

A big glass pyramid sits in the middle of this page, drawn with a simple diamond grid that is fun to fill square by square. Behind it rises a palace with arched windows, chimneys and a domed central pavilion, while a happy sun and two clouds float in the sky. A shallow pool runs around the pyramid. It is the Louvre in Paris, France, simplified for children about 2 to 5. Let kids color each glass pane in a different shade of blue, or alternate two colors like a checkerboard.

Standing in the courtyard of the Louvre in Paris, France, you face the famous glass pyramid, with two smaller pyramids tucked at its sides. The palace behind has rows of decorated windows, rooftop statues and a domed pavilion with a carved triangular pediment. A wide basin of water sits in front, lamp posts stand at each side, and paving lines lead your eye inward past two rounded shrubs. Kids about 5 to 10 will enjoy it. The pyramid opened in 1989 as the museum’s main entrance. Use felt tips in sky blues for the glass and sandy tones for the stone.

Here the glass pyramid of the Louvre in Paris, France, is seen at an angle, its many panes catching the light beside a smaller pyramid. Fountains splash in the basin in front, and behind them a grand pavilion with sculpted figures, arched windows and a curved dome dominates the left side. A tall lamp post with three lanterns stands in the foreground, and clipped hedges fill the lower corners. Older kids and adults will enjoy the fine lines. It is the most visited art museum in the world. Try graphite tones for the pyramid and warm cream for the palace.

Roses, a carved stone balustrade and a floor of patterned tiles fill the foreground of this lavish Louvre scene in Paris, France. Beyond them, fountains play in front of the great glass pyramid, flanked by smaller pyramids, while the palace stretches across the back with its sculpted pavilions and a ribbed dome on the right. An ornate street lamp rises on the left, an urn overflowing with flowers sits on a pillar, and leaves hang from the top corner. A real challenge for experienced adult colorists. Gel pens in jewel tones make the tile patterns sparkle.
