The Louvre hosts its brand new exhibition in the space dedicated to arts and cultural education, the Petite Galerie. Théâtre du Pouvoir (literally Theatre of Power or Power Plays) examines the connections between art and political power. Art can be a means of affirming authority and prestige. Through portraits and symbolic objects, warlords and kings create an image. But art can also be a vehicle of protest.
A very beautiful exhibition displaying some forty pieces from antiquity to today.
