In 1692, the French Academy, the Academy of Inscriptions, the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Architecture, the Academy of Painting and Sculpture moved into the Louvre. During the Revolution, the National Assembly decided to create a museum in the Louvre to display the royal and ecclesiastical collections.
