|
The Louvre Web site aims to make the museum’s extraordinary riches available to the widest possible audience. It provides both practical information and in-depth background material to be consulted before or after a visit to the museum. It is also a virtual Louvre, open twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, for those unable to visit the museum in person.

The Web site will be constantly evolving, with new content presenting the latest museum news being published on a daily basis. The site will also be expanded with the addition of new features, which will use the latest interactive technology to explore the permanent collections and museum life.
The Louvre has developed a system that permits anyone at the museum, regardless of their level of technical expertise or the department they work in, to add or update material on the site quickly and easily. Once created, the new content is available online instantly.
The Louvre's Internet Department develops, produces, and commissions original Web site content. It has acquired a unique expertise at the intersection of cultural communication and information science, bringing the Louvre's collections and activities to a worldwide audience through such sections as In-Depth Studies, A Closer Look, Parallel, and Behind the Scenes. The department's knowledge and skills are also used in partnerships and coproductions for major events at the museum.
