The Louvre is arguably the world’s most famous art museum, home to some of the most iconic art pieces in history. But there are many things we don’t know about the museum that only a resident Parisian could ever have the time to discover in such an expansive museum. What happens on Tuesdays when the museums is closed? Who cleans the unmistakable Louvre Pyramid serving as the entrance? What is the deal with Mona Lisa and her cult following?
Luckily, we have the perfect journalist to answer all of these questions. Elaine Sciolino is a contributing writer and former Paris bureau chief for The New York Times and the Author of Adventures in the Louvre: How to Fall in Love with the World’s Greatest Museum, which is her latest book in an expansive bibliography of all things French. Being a permanent resident for 20+ years(with fresh citizenship), her love for Paris, the people and culture of France truly shines in her work.
Tune in to the conversation with an extended dialogue beyond the initial WGN+ stream as Elaine shares her journalist’s approach to everything within the walls of the Louvre, the streets of Paris and beyond what the average visitor may or may not know and how it has changed her life!
