Louvre Pyramid declares that "the pyramid is dedicated to a power described as the Beast in the Book of Revelation (...) The entire structure is based on the number 6." The story of the 666 panes originated in the 1980s, when the official brochure published during construction did indeed cite this number (even twice, though a few pages earlier the total number of panes was given as 672 instead). The number 666 was also mentioned in various newspapers. The Louvre museum, however, states that the finished pyramid contains 673 glass panes (603 rhombi and 70 triangles). A higher figure was obtained by
Palais Royal – Musée du Louvre (Paris Métro) given its current name in 1989, soon after the opening of the new entrance to the Louvre Museum. It is named after the nearby Palais Royal and the "Louvre". The entrance on Place Colette was redesigned by Jean-Michel Othoniel, as the (Kiosk of the night-walkers), and completed in October 2000 for the centenary of the Métro. Two cupolas of the (one representing the day, the other the night) are made of colored glass beads that are threaded to structure of aluminum. They make an unexpected and original work in the very traditional environment of the "Place Colette". Attractions accessible from
