...Louvre Faces the Future Peter Gumbel's article "Le Louvre Inc." warmed the cockles of my heart [July 28]. It made me feel that my favorite museum is well cared for by its director, Henri Loyrette. I visit a different section of the Louvre every time I visit Paris, and it will take me a lifetime to see it all - if I ever do.

A section of the basement hums with activity from workshops that keep alive esoteric skills such as the art of working with gold leaf, and curators say the increased number of exhibitions of Louvre works abroad keeps them on their toes, since they need to produce catalogues and other research for them. The lending policy isn't limitless, either: earlier this year the Louvre pulled out of a show that a private promoter was mounting in Verona, Italy. The Louvre would have received $6.4 million...
