The Louvre is the world’s most famous museum. Its vast collection of 480,000 works has been digitised and it’s now available to view online.
2.7 million people visited the museum in 2019. The Louvre’s collection ranges from world famous works like Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa.
It also included far more obscure artworks. The collection is too vast to ever be fully explored by one person in a lifetime.Jean-Luc Martinez, the president of the Louvre, had this to say: “Today, the Louvre is dusting off its treasures, even the least-known.
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.
