Louvre Collections Database

The Louvre put its collections database online in 2021, and it now lists more than 500,000 works, including the Musée National Eugène-Delacroix and pieces in storage, on loan or standing in the Tuileries and Carrousel gardens. That breadth is the reason to come: much of what the museum owns is not on display, and this is the way to see it. Think of it as a catalogue rather than an image library. Records are factual and plainly written, and the site is built for browsing and research rather than downloading pictures for reuse, so it suits students working on a specific object better than anyone hoping to collect images.
