Résumé : The opening of the Louvre-Lens is an exceptional opportunity to rethink the centuries-old
relationship between the collections in the Louvre Museum and its visitors. This publication
presents the outstanding instances in this innovative project, made possible by the
creation, over a former pithead, of a new architectural complex by the Japanese firm
SANAA and its internationally renowned architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa.
At the heart of this museum is the “Galerie du Temps”, whose design was entrusted
to Studio Adrien Gardère. It presents 205 exhibits from all the departments in the
Louvre in a single space. Displayed in chronological order, these works have previously
always been seen in separate exhibition spaces, being issued from different civilisations,
schools or techniques. The “Galerie du temps” offers a comparative and transversal
view of the history of the arts, spanning the period from the invention of writing
in Mesopotamia in the 4th millennium BC to the Industrial Revolution in the mid-19th
century. On this journey through different civilisations, the gallery allows visitors
to compare universally recognised masterpieces, such as Gudea, Prince of Lagash, the
statuette of Queen Tiye Beside King Amenhotep III, the Discophoros, the Angel's Head
mosaic from the basilica in Torcello, Self-Portrait with a Friend by Raphael, the
Bather by Falconet and Oedipus and the Sphinx by Ingres. This guide to the Louvre-Lens
discusses and reproduces in their entirety the works exhibited in the “Galerie du
Temps”, allowing us to prolong and deepen our visual encounter with art and history.
