A Brief Overview of the Louvre

Originally a medieval fortress, the palace of the kings of France, the Louvre was established as a museum two hundred years ago. Parts of the museum architecture are more than 800 years old

The museum was established in 1793 by the French Republic, and is one of the oldest European museums.

The Louvre is divided into 8 departments, and its collections incorporate works dating from the birth of the great antique civilisations right up to the first half of the XIXth century. The Louvre is actually a lifesize encyclopedia.

The "Grand Louvre" restoration project is a part of the "Grand Travaux" or Major Works defined by the President of the Republic François Mitterrand.
