The Louvre has a library, of course - but its off limits to all
us hoards of tourists. I didn’t find it
until my last day visiting the Louvre.
And I couldn’t go in there.
But maybe you could plan your break-in!

The collection at the Ecole du Louvre is one of the largest
Art History and Archeology collections in the world. It also publishes academic research, books and manuals on a
regular basis.
The library contains support materials for all subjects
covered at the Ecole du Louvre, including approximately 56,000 volumes, 320
periodicals and 5000 living memories.
The Phototheque contains over 200 000 catalogued images, 400 000 slides
and 50 000 plates. Its digital
collection is available on premises.
The second best knowledge access in the Louvre for non-academics is by
purchasing the ‘Carte Louvre Professionels’ - a pass which gives access to
resources for education, journalism, arts and tourism.
For those of us who just like art but know just a little, the
Louvre website is a rich resource to investigate - whether to plan your next
visit or just enjoy the abundance of art it contains.
