But if you already know these permanent collections by heart, turn to the animations proposed during this festive evening:

  • Mini-discovery tours
    On the occasion of the European Night of the Museums, 10 "mini-discovery" tours will be extended during the evening to allow the public to discover in 20 minutes emblematic spaces of the museum in dialogue with a mediator.
    Departure directly from the museum rooms at 6:30 pm, 7 pm, 7:30 pm, and 8 pm

  • Workshops "I, in poses and drawings" by the artist Hélène Fromen
    Throughout the evening, Hélène Fromen invites visitors to experiment with the representation of themselves and others through plastic workshops accessible to all, on the borderline between control and letting go.
    Three workshops are offered free of charge and in the Studio (Richelieu wing), from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.

  • "From the Classroom to the Louvre
    The European Night of the Museum is the high point of the museum's school projects. Before nightfall, come and discover a selection of projects carried out this year by students from kindergarten to high school, accompanied by their teachers, in connection with the museum's collections.
    Meet from 1:30 to 6:00 pm in the Studio, before exploring different areas of the museum to discover various projects: live performances, readings, presentations of plastic works, video projections, mediation in front of the works, sound walks...
