About
A documentary look behind the scenes at the Louvre, following staff as they store, move and install artworks and prepare the museum for visitors.
Louvre City is a documentary by Nicolas Philibert that goes behind the scenes at the Louvre after the museum's 1980s renovation, when the glass pyramid was added. It shows parts of the museum closed to the public: long underground galleries, workshops and storage rooms holding thousands of paintings, sculptures and objects. The film follows the work needed to mount exhibitions and protect the collections, from preservation rooms and retouching of frames and paintings by experts to instructions for staff on protecting the collections efficiently and looking presentable to visitors. Gradually, people appear as paintings are hung, rooms are rearranged, artworks are moved and guards try on new uniforms.
