history surrounding the museum, which began in the Middle
Ages as a fortress, then became a royal residence which
continued to enlarge, expand, and develop over the centuries
with the most brilliant architects and painters being called to
work on this architectural masterpiece. In 1793, the Louvre
confirmed its role as a temple of the arts when it was made the
first national museum open to the public. From then on, its
collections continued to grow from its roots in the old royal
collection, benefiting from acquisitions, archaeological
discoveries, donations, and bequests. Centuries of growth,
evolution, and transformation culminated in the 1980s with the
Grand Louvre project symbolized by I.M. Pei's world-famous
and critically acclaimed modernist pyramid.
