The new Louvre Conservation Centre, which is located across from the museum Louvre-Lens, was officially opened at the end of 2019, in attendance of the French minister of Culture, Franck Riester.

Louvre art storage

The Louvre Conservation Centre allocates the art collection of the Louvre Museum, located in the heart of Paris. Until recently this collection was stored in about 60 depots across the region of Paris. A lot of these storage spaces were located in locations which regularly had flooding’s, which of course is disastrous for historic artwork. Currently the art collection is stored centrally in the Louvre Conservation Centre. 

This building enables us to preserve the heritage of humanity in good conditions on the long term
