It surveys the history of the Louvre from its origins as a medieval castle to its transformation into a national museum: Renaissance palace, artistic focus under Louis XIV, cradle of the Revolution, the nation's first museum and flagship of Napoleon III, showing how the building and its collections treasure the memory of France and of art.
