A Virtual Visit to the Louvre
Many of us, and most of our students, will never have the opportunity to visit the Louvre and marvel at the beautiful works of art housed therein. A new database available at the Louvre website now makes it possible to view the artworks on display at the Louvre and to obtain information about these works in English. Find the English version of the Atlas database at this link:

The Atlas database covers all works displayed in the museum, as well as providing explanatory text, in English.
