Loyal to its mission of public service, the publisher Musée du Louvre Éditions has participated, since 1988, in one of the museum's main missions: the spread of knowledge about its collections, a universal heritage spanning eight thousand years of history. By publishing books simultaneously in several digital and paper formats, the Musée du Louvre is asserting its desire to provide free, unlimited, and immediate access to its publications of the scientific research, while at the same time confronting the challenge of the dematerialization of art books.
