The Louvre Museum in Paris has officially reopened its newly renovated painting and sculpture galleries, marking one of the most significant upgrades to its exhibition spaces in recent years. Visitors are now returning to halls restored with improved lighting, modern climate-control systems, and updated layouts designed to highlight both iconic works and lesser-known masterpieces.
01:45In this space, it was so natural and logical that the two teams of the museum, the Museum of the Quai Branly,
01:51since all these works belong to the Museum of the Quai Branly,
01:55enter in dialogue with the team of the Museum of the Louvre,
01:58to think about a presentation that will reunite the two collections,
02:01so that this gallery is no longer the gallery of four continents,
02:03but the gallery of five continents,
02:05and that they finally pose questions at the scale of the entire human creation.
02:42All the works have a jumeau, a double, a echo, a resonance, because they have not been chosen for their individual force, but for their ability to enter into dialogue with those around them.
03:05I think naturally about the head of the Moai, of the Rapanui, of the Pâques, in front of the great sarcophages of the pharaon Egypt.
