The Louvre Displays Its Entire Art Collection Online To Be Explored For Free – DesignTAXI.com


Browse the artworks of the most-visited museum in the world, room by room.

 

It’s not just its stunning glass pyramid shape that sets it apart; being home to history-making artworks like the Mona Lisa, Liberty Leading the People, and Venus de Milo, the Louvre in Paris is the most-visited museum in the world.

With COVID-19 halting travel and visiting plans, however, the former palace remains closed to the public. But its artifacts aren’t shying away and retreating to a life of solitude—the Louvre has launched an online platform showcasing all of the museum’s pieces for free, inviting art lovers, as well as those whose interests in culture have budded during the pandemic, to revel in the artworks, wherever they may be.

“Today, the Louvre is dusting off its treasures, even the least-known,” shared Jean-Luc Martinez, the president and director of the Louvre, in a press statement. “For the first time, anyone can access the entire collection of works from a computer or smartphone for free, whether they are on display in the museum, on loan, even long-term, or in storage… I am sure that this digital content is going to further inspire people to come to the Louvre to discover the collections in person.”

Digital visitors can browse the museum’s works via an interactive map taking them from room to room.
