Tokyo
Dai Nippon Printing (DNP) and the Musée du Louvre are continuing their joint Museum Lab project with the sixth presentation, housed in a dedicated area at DNP’s Gotanda headquarters in Tokyo, Japan.

Louvre - DNP Museum Lab is an experimental project exploring new approaches to artworks in the Musée du Louvre's collections, drawing on DNP’s expertise in information technology and state-of-the-art digital imaging, and public outreach expertise developed at the Louvre. The theme of each presentation will also be explored in conferences and screenings as well as on the Web site of the project, museumlab.eu
Three portraits of women from Roman-Egyptian antiquity (2nd century AD) will be on show for this presentation. Alongside original works, multimedia mediation using digital information and communication technology will allow viewers to discover the specific features of these paintings, as well as of the portrait art developed by Egyptian artisans at a time when three civilizations were coming together. The insights provided will enable visitors to gain an in-depth understanding of the works exhibited.
This presentation is the last in the project's first phase of six presentations held over three years. The project proved a success, leading the Musée du Louvre and Dai Nippon Printing to continue collaborating on a second phase. A seventh presentation is scheduled to open to the public in Fall 2010.
In this second stage, the project includes the systematic relocation in the Musée du Louvre, Paris, of multimedia displays developed at Gotanda.
