About

Within the glass cases of the Egyptian Antiquities wing, the pyramid-shaped wings glimmering with light evoke a stillness as if carrying on the cry of a sphinx. The garden of the Roman Antiquities wing follows a stone path steeped in traces of sculpture with light footsteps, and the wind of the Louvre Palace carries the breath of centuries each time it touches the old walls. The glittering glass fragments held within cork boxes in the Near Eastern Antiquities wing preserve intact the very moment touched by the hands of ancient Egyptians. The mosaic decorations of the Islamic art galleries dazzle the eye with a deep silver that seems to never surrender to sunlight. Here, all the nobility once held by royalty still dwells, evoking a flow of time as if dancing toward the past.
