Atlas . . . Bold as Louvre

August 4, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Last week, the New York Times ran a short item on the announcement of a new English-language database at the Louvre. The database is called Atlas and can be accessed here:

The announcement was made in a news release by the group American Friends of the Louvre, which provided a $380,000 grant for the database. The database, called Atlas, will provide information on 22,000 works of art from the Louvre, as well as high-resolution images and the locations of works and galleries within the museum. That represents about 80 percent of the works available on the French-language version of Atlas, which catalogs 26,000 of the 35,000 works on permanent display at the Louvre.
