‘De toutes beautés!’ Rituals, objects, and representations of beauty: A journey of discovery in the galleries of the Louvre Museum via L’Oréal

The Louvre Museum offers an unprecedented mediation program across its galleries, thanks to the exceptional support of the L’Oréal Groupe.  Entitled “Of All Beauties”, this guided journey allows visitors to explore a signposted collection of 108 selected works.

Starting November 13th, 2024, all visitors to the Louvre will be invited to explore over 100,000 years of art and history by discovering beauty gestures, rituals and practices; the canons or idealized visions of beauty; and what questions about appearance and beauty reveal about societies and their transformations.

These three key themes punctuate an original one-of-a-kind visit, created by the Louvre with the collaboration of the L’Oréal Groupe Art, Culture & Heritage Department.  The aim is to share the story of beauty throughout history, with the widest possible audience:  From prehistory to the future.
