Hosts at the Louvre
From 2024 to summer 2026, Kader Attia and Elizabeth Peyton inhabited the spaces – both physical and imaginary – of the Louvre. Each had a studio on the premises, where they created, conversed with museum personnel, and engaged with the public. Previously studio neighbours, they now share the temporary exhibition space in the Salle de la Chapelle, where the results of their respective sojourns in the museum are on display for all to see.
Duration: 30 MIN
9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.
Louvre Photo
‘Louvre Photo’ presents more than 300 photographs featuring the Louvre, its artworks, its exhibition galleries and its open spaces, as well as visitors both famous and anonymous, museum workers, hidden nooks and restricted corridors. ‘‘Louvre Photo’ takes the Louvre as a model, a subject, a muse, a source of inspiration and a starting point for reinvention, taking a step back and offering a new look at the museum, the institution and its collections – sometimes with a touch of humour and subversiveness.
