Louvre-Lens
The opening of the Louvre-Lens has been an exceptional opportunity to rethink the centuries-old relationship between the collections in the Louvre Museum and its visitors. This publication presents the outstanding instances in this innovative project, made possible by the creation, over a former pithead, of a new architectural complex by the Japanese firm SANAA and its internationally renowned architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa. At the heart of this museum is the "Galerie du Temps", whose design was entrusted to Studio Adrien Gardère. It presents 230 exhibits from all the departments in the Louvre in a single space. Displayed in chronological order, these works have previously alwa...
Louvre-Lens
The opening of the Louvre-Lens is an exceptional opportunity to rethink the centuries-old relationship between the collections in the Louvre Museum and its visitors. At the heart of this museum is the "Galerie du Temps", whose design was entrusted to Studio Adrien Gardère. It presents 205 exhibits from all the departments in the Louvre in a single space. Displayed in chronological order, these works have previously always been seen in separate exhibition spaces, being issued from different civilisations, schools or techniques. On this journey through different civilizations, the gallery allows visitors to compare universally recognized masterpieces, such as Gudea, Prince of Lagash, the statuette of Queen Tiye Beside King Amenhotep III, the Discophoros, the Angel's Head mosaic from the basilica in Torcello, Self-Portrait with a Friend by Raphael, the Bather by Falconet and Oedipus and the Sphinx by Ingres. This guide to the Louvre-Lens discusses and reproduces in their entirety the works exhibited in the "Galerie du Temps", allowing us to prolong and deepen our visual encounter with art and history.
Worlds in a Museum
Held on the occasion of Louvre Abu Dhabi’s first anniversary, the symposium Worlds in a Museum addressed the topic of museums in the era of globalisation, exploring contemporary museology and the preservation and presentation of culture within the context of changing societies. Departing from the historical museum structure inherited from the Enlightenment, leading experts from art, cultural, and academic institutions explore present-day achievements and challenges in the study, display and interpretation of art, history, and artefacts. How are “global” and “local” objects and narratives balanced – particularly in consideration of diverse audiences? How do we foster perspective and multiculturalism while addressing politicised notions of centre and periphery? As they abandon classical canons and categories, how are museums and cultural entities redefining themselves beyond predefined concepts of geography and history? This collection of essays arises from the symposium Worlds in a Museum organised by Louvre Abu Dhabi and École du Louvre.

Graine de vivant
Arrose ton jardin secret de silence ardent, que germe la graine du vivant. Pour cela, laisse fondre ton cœur jusqu'à l'eau claire propre à laver ton visage de tous les malentendus, et crie ton NOM en l'espace inviolé. Au cœur des tempêtes, une plage de silence blanc, plus petite qu'un grain de sable, et plus dense, où l'écume des jours comptés s'efface à l'évidence du nouveau-né. Jean-Luc Martinez
Confronting Colonial Objects
The treatment of cultural colonial objects is one of the most debated questions of our time. Calls for a new international cultural order go back to decolonization. However, for decades, the issue has been treated as a matter of comity or been reduced to a Shakespearean dilemma: to return or not to return. Confronting Colonial Objects seeks to go beyond these classic dichotomies and argues that contemporary practices are at a tipping point. The book shows that cultural takings were material to the colonial project throughout different periods and went far beyond looting. It presents micro histories and object biographies to trace recurring justifications and contestations of takings and retu...
The Winged Victory of Samothrace
"The Winged Victory of Samothrace is without doubt one of the most spectacular and accomplished expressions of Greek sculpture from the Hellenistic period. Why, then, restore it now? In spite of its intrinsic beauty, the monument has not been immune to the passage of time and its presentation has been called into question by recent developments in archaeological research. Since it first arrived at the Louvre in 1864, it has been the object of three restoration campaigns. Today, the restoration of an ancient sculpture comprises an encounter with the artistic genius of the ancients; the restoration of a Greek sculpture completed during the nineteenth century necessitates taking the work’s se...
