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.
