This original documentary by Stan Neumann manages to condense two hundred years of the Louvre's history into 70 minutes. In addition to evocations of artists and interviews with both famous and anonymous people, the film highlights the work of the Louvre staff and recounts the various building projects that have made the Louvre what it is today. The result gives viewers a new perspective on the world's most famous museum.
