DISCOVERIES OF THE LOUVRE
We invite you to create an expanded vision of the Louvre and embrace its unique collection. Why not show us an artwork no one knows, give us a new interpretation of a well-known piece, or demonstrate a sense of the wide range of the collections: create connections no one would have expected while remaining deeply grounded in the history of the museum. Show us the Louvre as it is – and as we can only see it through your eyes.

About the Louvre
Formerly a royal palace, the Louvre has encapsulated the history of France for eight centuries. Open to the public since 1793, the Louvre collections are among the finest in the world, encompassing several thousands of years and cultures from across the world. Divided among nine departments, the collections feature works admired throughout the globe, including the Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and the Venus de Milo.
After the French Revolution, the Louvre was transformed into a place where artists could admire the great masters and look for inspiration. Even today, the Louvre remains a place of inspiration for the greatest contemporary creators, architects, painters, sculptors, dancers, and musicians.
