WRITTEN IN FRENCH
A contemporary walk through the most beautiful museum in the world.
From Malherbe to Baudelaire, poets have continued to frequent the Louvre and find there a source of contemplation and inspiration.
For the first time, the museum invited more than a hundred figures from all over the world to create a poem on and with material from the Louvre. Works, places, dreams, experiences, memories, visions emerge in words in Poésie du Louvre, like so many invocations of the powers of art.
« Their creations demonstrate that the Louvre is multiple, teeming, constantly re-invented, in dialogue with the times it goes through, but also a manifestation of the "long and visible journey of humanity", a place of gathering, of a human community - that of life in poetry. »
Extract from the preface by Laurence des Cars
