Concours « Louvre Photo »

On the occasion of the upcoming "Louvre Photo" exhibition, the Musée du Louvre invites you to share your vision of the museum: unexpected, personal, unique images revealing your connection with the artworks, spaces, details… An encounter with an artwork, a surprising framing, an emotion before the collections, or an unprecedented perspective on the Louvre—whether you are an artist or an amateur, the floor is yours! Post your photo with the hashtag #LouvrePhoto on Instagram, from your account (public visibility only): selected photos will be exhibited progressively in the permanent tour by the jury!

The "Louvre Photo" exhibition (from 4 November 2026 to 3 May 2027) focuses on the Louvre as a model, subject, source of inspiration, and object of artistic détournement. Through more than 300 photographs—including photographs of the Louvre, its artworks, exhibition galleries, open spaces, as well as famous and anonymous visitors, museum staff, hidden spots and backstage areas—Louvre Photo invites discovery and revelation, calling upon fresh, distanced perspectives, sometimes with humour or quirkiness, on the museum, the institution and its collections.
