Museu Roman antiquities

This audio-guided tour of the Louvre with the Bible crosses Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities.

The journey follows the classic direction with a room-by-room movement. It begins with the Cariatides room. More than 20 works and objects which have a biblical link are thus commented on.

The Bible proves to be a relevant guide for deciphering parts of the history of antiquity. Did you know, that some of the artistic representations of the devil come from the god Pan, that the traditional cross could also be a single stake, three Caesars are mentioned by name in the Bible, or that  Easter and Carnival originate from before Christianity?

Certainly an original biblical journey which invites us to visit the Louvre in a unique way.

Do not hesitate to download this link now for a visit at home on the site (izi.TRAVEL), or better, in the rooms of the Louvre.

Enjoy your visit everyone!
