[Airbnb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moulin-rouge-windmill) is making it possible for individuals to enjoy an overnight museum stay at the [Louvre's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-joconde) glass pyramid. Thus, the company identifies itself as not only convenience-focused but as a corporate entity that seeks to raise excitement and bring unique opportunities to its consumers. The activation comes from a partnership between Airbnb and the Louvre. It is an experience that is dedicated to celebrating the 30th anniversary of the central pyramid which was built by I. M. Pei in 1989.

The overnight museum stays invited one person and a guest. The duo will enjoy an extensive VIP tour of the gallery. They will be treated both to an apéritif — which is held in a pop-up living room next to the Mona Lisa, and a dinner next to Venus of Milo.
