The Louvre Auditorium has a threefold mission: to provide a platform for the museum's scholarly research and core disciplines (archaeology, art history, and museography); to broaden perspectives and increase attendance at the Louvre by organizing events covering aesthetics, literature, architecture, cinema, and music; to provide the public with new ways to discover and explore the Louvre's collections in depth (lectures, conferences, films, readings, concerts, and silent films accompanied by music).
