What does the Louvre look like without the public? For the first time, the world's greatest art museum lets a film crew, led by acclaimed director Nicolas Philibert (Etre et Avoir), behind the scenes to reveal a spellbinding secret world. As staff hang paintings and reorganise rooms, we discover a hidden city within a city: miles of underground passages, reserves containing thousands of priceless treasures and chambers that are off-limits to visitors. Filmed over a five month period during the Louvre's 1988 reorganisation, and just prior to the inauguration of the Pyramid, this sublime documentary offers a fascinating new perspective on a world famous institution.
