Missed art museums? The Louvre has just put his entire art collection on the line



Written by Alaa Ilasar, CNN

There is nothing like spending a rainy afternoon in a museum, immersed in the beauty and wonder of art and history. Now the world’s most visited museum louver lets you do it from home.

The French Museum has published an online online platform featuring all of the museum’s artwork, including more than 80,80,000 pieces, the Louvre announced in a press release on Friday.
Art lovers and researchers will now be able to view the entire Louvre collection online for free.

The website features paintings by Egyptian artifacts and artists from around the world, ranging from the museum’s eight-section collection to Islamic art and Renaissance sculptures.

Jean-Luc Martinez, president and director of the Louvre, said, “Today, the Louvre is destroying its treasures, even the least well-known ones.” “For the first time, anyone can access a complete collection of works for free from a computer or smartphone, whether displayed on a museum, on a loan, in the long run, or in storage.”

“The Louvre’s stunning cultural heritage is now just a click away!” He added. “I’m sure this digital content is more inspiring for people to come to the Louvre to find it in the collection.”

Visitors can search the museum’s vast collection through simple or advanced searches, entries through the curatorial department, or themed albums.

The website has an interactive map that allows people to explore a room in the museum and each of its artwork rooms.

The website will be updated regularly by the museum’s experts as the museum’s collection gradually expands, according to the publication.

Lockdown bans due to the coronavirus epidemic shut down the Louvre in late October, leaving world-famous artists such as “Venus de Milo,” “Liberty Leading the People” and “Mona Lisa” without the usual crowd of their fans.
While the museum is still closed to visitors, the Louvre is now working on a long-planned renovation.
