The Louvre: Lots of Art, Some of it Old, and Lots of it Online

"Thirty-Five Thousand Works of Art"
The Louvre

"The Musée du Louvre houses 35,000 works of art drawn from eight departments, displayed in over 60,000 square meters of exhibition space dedicated to the permanent collections. Explore the works on display, taking a thematic or cross-departmental approach...."

The Curatorial Departments:

• Near Eastern Antiquities
• Islamic Art
• Paintings
• Egyptian Antiquities
• Sculptures
• Prints and Drawings
• Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities
• Decorative Arts

I don't know if all 35,000 works of art have their own page with a photo and fairly extensive description, but I went through quite a few Near Eastern Antiquities - and was impressed.

This isn't a substitute for a visit to the Louvre, but it'll do for someone like me, who isn't likely to get east of Chicago again.
