November, 1999: Spotlight on the Louvre MuseumThe collection largely represents booty from Napoleon's conquests (at one time it was called the Musée Napoléon), and as such predates the modern art movement which began with the Impressionists. But from the dawn of time right up through the Neoclassical and Romantic eras, the Louvre's collection is simply stunning.
