The Louvre museum online collection
The online collection of the Louvre museum
[https://collections.louvre.fr/en/] comprises high-resolution pictures
and scans of artworks. The Atlas database
[http://cartelen.louvre.fr/cartelen/visite?srv=crt_frm_rs&langue=en&initCritere=true]
covers some 30,000 objects on display in the museum. Through the
database, artworks are more easily accessible for the broader public
as people can see images of artworks and read English descriptions
online. Users can search items through keywords, departments, rooms,
and recent acquisitions. The following are available online:

	* Egyptian Antiquities 
	* Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities 
	* Oriental Antiquities
	* Byzantium Arts and Christianity in the East
	* Islamic Arts
	* Graphic Arts
	* Medieval, Renaissance and Modern Decorative Arts
	* Paintings
	* Sculptures of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Modern Times
	* Garden Sculptures 
	* Louvre History Department
	* Musée national Eugène-Delacroix
	* National Museums Recovery

Users can find these artworks and the explanatory texts that are
usually shown in the museum exhibits, compiled under the authority of
the museum curators, in the online collection of the Louvre museum
[https://collections.louvre.fr/en/]. The continuously updated database
of the Louvre is one of a growing number of online collections of
artworks using cultural open data.
