Louvre Footloose

Louvre Footloose

There is a plan to locate a Louvre II in the less prosperous area of Northern France. Two towns have been nominated; Valenciennes and Lens, as well as Calais, Boulogne, Amiens and Arras. Louvre II will house over 500 works from the Louvre, rotating every two to three years. Inevitably, there have been numerous critics of the scheme, most emanating from Paris.
