The Louvre’s New $67 Million Wing
Louvre Director Henri Loyrette has decided to house the museum’s Islamic art collection in a gorgeous new wing. Wow.
“It was not even a department when I arrived,” said Mr. Loyrette. “We did not want to make this a separate museum because Islamic art is so artistically and politically important. It’s so closely linked with all of Western art.”
