Guide du Louvre
A free dive into history
The Louvre, the largest and most visited museum in the world, is proud to present its updated visitor's guide. Compiled by Dominique de Font-Réaulx, this guide offers a unique glimpse into the museum's extensive collections. Rather than a traditional museum guide, this work acts as a guide to a deeper exploration of the links between peoples, civilisations, eras and disciplines. The guide is designed to invite the reader for a free dive into the history of forms and images, with 320 pages full of 410 colour photographs and seven poetic interludes. Visitors can read this wonderful book prior to their visit in preparation, or afterwards to preserve and share memories.

Cooperation with Graphius
During the development of the project, Éditions du Louvre's production team was in constant contact with Graphius. Their expertise and advice were invaluable in meeting the design, editing and printing challenges. Thanks to careful colour corrections and the use of specific print profiles, the guide could eventually be realised without printing problems. The collaboration resulted in a product that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Technical specifications
This guide stands out for its high-quality finish and use of durable materials. The book has a handy size of 140 x 210 mm and consists of 320 pages printed on Arena Smooth White 120 g/m² paper. This choice of offset printing offers an intimate reading experience and ensures excellent colour reproduction that stays true to the original artwork. The Flexibook binding provides a thin and flexible cover, making the guide lighter and easier to handle.
