The Louvre began as a 12th‑century fortress, evolved into a royal palace and was opened as a public museum in 1793, now preserving over 35,000 works.
Conservation
The museum enforces lighting, humidity and handling protocols to preserve fragile works and limits certain visitor behaviors (no flash, large items restricted) to minimize wear.
