This ought to make Mona Lisa smile. <\/p>\n

The largest art museum in the world is now viewable in its entirety online.<\/p>\n

Paris\u2019 Louvre Museum may currently be closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but now, every single piece can be experienced virtually. The institution has digitized the entirety of its more than 380,000-piece collection on its website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This includes works that would not even be viewable to most museum visitors, including pieces that are on long-term loans abroad, in storage or otherwise not currently on display. It also includes works that were recovered following World War II and are pending return to their legitimate owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, the Louvre unveils its treasures, even the most unknown,\u201d said Louvre director and president Jean-Luc Martinez in a press release<\/a>. \u201cFor the first time, everyone will be able, free of charge, from their computer or smartphone, to access all of the works kept by the Louvre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martinez believes that making the \u201cbeauty of our heritage\u201d just \u201ca click away\u201d will increase the museum\u2019s physical foot traffic and in-person audience. Those who experience the art online will be more motivated \u201cto discover the works in their materiality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Having the works so easily accessible is also a huge boon for art scholars, anyone looking to make virtual reference to a specific work or art fans who can\u2019t make it to Paris right now \u2014 for understandable reasons. <\/p>\n

The online archives are formatted as two separate experiences, one more straightforward and the other offering a \u201cmore immersive\u201d way to experience the art. <\/p>\n

A variety of inline search functions allow visitors to search the collection by department, theme<\/a> or explore the museum as it exists in reality, room by room.<\/p>\n

The new digital experience will \u201ccontinue to evolve,\u201d the release promises, as the museum\u2019s staff continues to further research the art and update the online archives with their findings.<\/p>\n

The real-world Louvre is housed in a former French palace and boasts relics from a span of nearly 10,000 years of human history.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
