"The Inverted Pyramid" redirects here. For the 1924 novel by Bertrand Sinclair, see The Inverted Pyramid (novel).
The Louvre Inverted Pyramid (French: Pyramide inversée du Louvre)[1] is a skylight constructed in the Carrousel du Louvre, an underground shopping mall in front of the Louvre Museum in France. It may be thought of as a smaller sibling of the more famous Louvre Pyramid proper, yet turned upside down: its upturned base is easily seen from outside.
