Relying on the richness of its collections and the multiplicity of the civilisations represented, the Louvre museum invites the visitor to explore the legends of time, from the Chaos of the beginning to the grand myths of classical Antiquity and their evolution in the Christian and western image.

his exhibition also encourages the visitor to question oneself on the relationship between time and works of art: duration, finiteness, posterity...It also celebrates the museum as a place of refuge from time, for the public, for the works of art, for the artist and civilisations.

This exhibition presents the visitor with numerous works of art from all the different civilisations represented in the Louvre, as well as works borrowed from the Orsay Museum. It even provides an incursion into contemporary art.
