About Louvre
The Louvre collections database is an online catalogue of works held by the Musée du Louvre and the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix. Entries are updated daily and are the result of research and documentation by teams of experts from both museums. Visitors can browse works by object type, such as paintings, sculptures, textiles, coins and furniture, or through themed albums.
The site states that a complete redesign of its collections management tools means some information, particularly the rooms where artworks are displayed, may not be up to date. The site apologises for this and says normal service is being restored.
