Louvre launches Beyoncé and Jay-Z tour after Apeshit video
The Louvre has introduced a guided tour following the artworks featured in Beyoncé and Jay-Z's music video for 'Apeshit,' released a month ago. The video, filmed during a private overnight closure of the museum, showcases masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Mona Lisa, and the Venus de Milo. The 90-minute tour begins at the Winged Victory and includes seventeen stops. This is not the first pop-culture-inspired itinerary at the Louvre; previous tours have been based on Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code' and will.i.am's 'Mona Lisa Smile' video. The museum has a history with the Carters, who shared selfies with Louvre artworks four years ago. The tour is expected to attract hundreds of fans.
