The Galerie d'Apollon is a large and iconic room of the Louvre Palace, on the first (upper) floor of a wing known as the Petite Galerie. Its current setup was first designed in the 1660s. It has been part of the Louvre Museum since the 1790s, was completed under the lead of Félix Duban in the mid-19th century, and has housed the museum's collection of the French Crown Jewels since 1887. As part of the Louvre, the Galerie d'Apollon is both a national and World Heritage Site. It was comprehensively renovated between 2001 and 2004, and again cleaned up in 2019. source: wikipedia.org
