The Louvre: From Fortress to the World Greatest Museum
This documentary traces the Louvre's transformation from medieval fortress to the greatest museum in the world. Housed in the largest palace in Europe, it welcomes some ten million visitors a year to fourteen kilometres of galleries. Through its long history it reveals how the building and its collections came to symbolise Paris itself. Elegant and informative, it turns a tour of the Louvre into a story of art, power and time.
