The ‘Grande Galerie’
0
0
The largest room in the museum, originally 460 metres long (later shortened under Napoleon III) and now 288 metres long, the ‘Grande Galerie’ was built in 1595 under King Henry IV to link the two palaces of the kings of France: the Louvre and the Tuileries. It was during the reign of Louis XIV that the first floor of the vast gallery became an exhibition space for the works of the members of the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture. After the French Revolution of 1789, when the Convention inaugurated the Central Museum of Arts in the ‘Grande Galerie’, the Louvre Palace underwent a revolution by opening its doors and collections to the public.
