The Da Vinci Code — Film Location

Ron Howard’s The Da Vinci Code (2006) opens with a murder in the Grande Galerie of the Louvre, and the glass Pyramid in the Cour Napoléon becomes the film’s closing revelation. The crew filmed on site after hours for the Pyramid and some halls, while the scenes among the paintings of the Grande Galerie were recreated as full-scale sets — but the glass Pyramid that frames the story is unmistakably the real Louvre.
