Art history for all the family

The Louvre is one of the largest museums in the world, and takes us on a journey through the history of art from Ancient Egypt to modem times. It houses a whole host of remarkable works that help us understand the styles and movements of different ages.

In its vast palatial setting, the paintings, sculptures and artifacts of the same artistic movements are often scattered in separate and very distant rooms. The aim of this guide is to bring them closer together and give visitors the essential keys to understanding art history. In the work's six chapters, the first five take us from Antiquity to the 19th century, while the sixth introduces us to Islamic arts.

Follow the guide, track down ail the works and enjoy your visit !
