藏品丰富的卢浮宫里,最著名的就是两件有关罗马神话的雕像:米罗的维纳斯与萨莫色雷斯的胜利女神,以及达芬奇的肖像画《蒙娜丽莎》。——二战中,这些稀世珍宝并没有遭到毁坏,因为它们被转移到了安全的地方……

Among its greatest treasures in the Louvre are two of the most famous sculptures of the acient world, the Victory of Samothrace and the Venus de Milo, and Leonardo's famous portrait, Mona Lisa.

The Louvre also holds works by the other Italian masters Raphael and Titian and paintings by the northern artists Peter Paul Rubens and Rembrandt. Protection of all the Louvre's priceless masterpieces during the two world wars was effected by their removal to secret depositories outside Paris.

The collections of the museum are administered by seven curatorial departments. The Department of Egyptian Antiquities was formed in 1826 to study and display the objects brought back to France during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt. The Department of Oriental Antiquities is famed for its collections of Mesopotamian and Islamic art. Other departments include Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities and so on.

The museum publishes catalogs and brochures. In addition, it publishes the Revue de Louvre, which contains articles on new acquisitions and provides information on museum projects and on other French museums.
