<p>Behind the small dining room, a charming spiral staircase led up to a corridor fitted with walnut cupboards for silverware and dinner services. The decor of the corridor, in imitation Boulle marquetry, matched that of the large dining room, so the large glazed doors could be left open for the purposes of serving.*<br />

Taken in Musée du Louvre<br />
<br />
The Louvre began as a fortress with thick defensive walls, built in 1190 during the reign of Philippe Auguste. It became a royal residence in 1364 and was modified over the centuries according to changing styles and royal preferences. The Grande Galerie was built between 1595 and 1610, during the reign of Henri IV.<br />
In 1791, during the French Revolution, it was decreed that the Louvre should become a museum of the arts. The Muséum Central des Arts was inaugurated in 1793, and thereafter the palace was increasingly given over to the museum collections and their display to the public. From 1981 to 1989, the Pyramid project focused on putting visitors at the heart of the museum and its collections. The Department of Islamic Art was inaugurated in 2012. The opening of the new rooms of the Department of Byzantine and Eastern Christian Art is scheduled for 2028.<br />

John Galliano<br />
Collection Haute Couture Printemps/Été 2005<br />
Embroidered moire and voided velvet dress<br />
<br />
This look has all the hallmarks of an imperial vision: volume, a crimson colour, and ermine fur trimming the bottom of the dress. John Galliano's collection is influenced by the film Sissi - The Young Empress (Ernst Marischka, 1956) and is perfectly at home in this opulent Second-Empire setting from 1861. Inspired by a long trip to Vienna, Istanbul and Central Europe. Galliano picked up a very 19th-century decorative spirit, to which he blends 'pin-up glamour', with nods to Persian and Ottoman motifs, such as these blue embroidered designs that echo the ceramics produced in Iznik in what is now Turkey from the 15th century onwards.*<br />

In the Appartements Napoléon III - Salon théâtre<br />
The Salon-Théâtre links the two main rooms of the Napoleon III Apartments, the Grand Salon and the Dining Room. The name of the room, "Salon-Théâtre," is because it was possible to use it as a theatre scene, with the spectators standing in the Grand Salon.* <br />

Louvre Couture - Art and Fashion: Statement Pieces<br />
(January – August 2025)<br />
<br />
Although we have known since the days of Paul Cézanne that ‘the Louvre is the book from which we learn to read’, this inexhaustible wellspring of inspiration has also nourished one of contemporary art’s liveliest domains: the world of fashion. More and more, research and monographs dedicated to the greats of fashion have boldly begun to trace aesthetic family trees, establishing these figures in a historical and artistic context. The pattern is not merely one of disruptions, with various degrees of radical innovation, or of seasonal changes, but also one of echoes and evocations. The threads weaving their way between the work of great fashion figures and the world of art are almost endless, and the history of art as expressed by the Musée du Louvre, in the depth of its collections and in the ways it reflects the tastes of days gone by, is an equally vast terrain of influences and sources.<br />
In consideration of the Louvre’s encyclopaedic immensity, this exhibition follows a methodological approach geared towards exploring the history of decorative styles, art professions and ornamentation through the galleries of the Department of Decorative Arts, where textiles are omnipresent – though generally in tapestries and other décor items rather than in articles of clothing.<br />
Over a nearly 9,000-square-metre space, 65 designs are displayed, along with a number of accessories, newly illuminating the close historical dialogue that continues to take place between the world of fashion and the department’s greatest masterpieces, from Byzantium to the Second Empire. Each of these garments and accessories is on special loan from the most iconic fashion houses, both long-standing and recent, in Paris and throughout the world.<br />
The pieces will not be displayed aimlessly throughout the Department of Decorative Arts, but rather will serve as an occasion to highlight existing parallels: the department owes part of its collection to the generosity of great fashion figures, from Jacques Doucet to Madame Carven. These countless connections embrace common methodological ground in the fields of art history and fashion: knowledge of ancestral techniques, visual culture and the subtle interplay of references, from the catalogue raisonné of the museum to the moodboard of the fashion world. ‘Louvre Couture’ offers a new perspective on decorative arts through the prism of contemporary fashion design.*<br />
