La Ville Louvre

INTERMEDIA AWARD-MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

What does the Louvre look like in the absence of visitors ? For the first time a great museum unveils its ey to the eyes of a film team : paintings being hung up, rooms rearranged, works of art moved around, watchmen trying on their uniforms… the people appear gradually, increasingly, as the story takes shape. From the underground restoration studios and stocks of sculptures to the Mona Lisa being dusted, the film allows us to discover the secret life of one of the world’s greatest museums.
