A school of the gaze, of the object and of the collection, the École du Louvre has known, since its creation in 1882, these strong attractions, these sometimes exclusive passions which inhabit the "viewers" and the collectors and which many curators carry within them. Offering within the Louvre itself its platform to express them and its benches to receive them, it has brought together over time many scholars, connoisseurs or simple amateurs carrying these enthusiasms, endearing figures which it was important, if not to be able to revive them all, at least to allow them to be glimpsed.

Hence the many references to curators and professors, but also to students and auditors, to courses and programs, to scientific research and teaching methods, which the reader will find in this history – the first published since 1932 – of an institution that is still unique in its kind, organically linked to the destiny of the national collections, and whose capacity for renewal seems to guarantee the future.
