Museums paper

An exhibition held at the Musée du Louvre, 25 September 2010 to January 3, 2011, Sully wing, first floor room of the Chapel. Remarkably small exhibition presenting one of the devices developed from the seventeenth century to present human knowledge, Museums paper is a rare opportunity to see some wonderful works.

The Museum of Cassiano dal Pozzo cartaceo, many drawings featured in the exhibition, opened in a way the principle of this specific device, presenting works by the image of antiquity, but also any other human creation and those of the nature (topic not addressed here). Such collections, including the publication continues to this day (sometimes anecdotal, such as The Museum Called Canada) moves in tandem with the first modern museums and offices - which already reflected the interest shown Quiccheberg for images in its Inscriptiones (1565).

The museum "hard" and regularly cotoie this specific company, as shown by the beautiful selection by the commissioner, museum catalogs (Maffei and Bottari and Visconti) and other collections from private collections.

An exhibition to see, if only for the sublime board Bianchini, model of the museum he designed - and virtual museum full, in that the said Bernard Deloche.
