Relying on the
richness of its
collections and the
multiplicity of the
civilisations
represented, the
Louvre museum
invites the visitor
to explore the
legends of time,
from the Chaos of
the beginning to the grand myths of classical
Antiquity and their evolution in the Christian and
western image.
his exhibition also encourages the visitor to
question oneself on the relationship between
time and works of art: duration, finiteness,
posterity...It also celebrates the museum as a
place of refuge from time, for the public, for the
works of art, for the artist and civilisations.
This exhibition presents the visitor with
numerous works of art from all the different
civilisations represented in the Louvre, as well
as works borrowed from the Orsay Museum. It
even provides an incursion into contemporary
art.
