This beautifully illustrated exhibition catalogue explores the flourishing of archaeology in the nineteenth century, the part played by the Louvre in the rediscovery of the Ancient world, and the growth of the Louvre's departments of Greek, Etruscan and Roman Antiquities, Egyptian Antiquities and Eastern Antiquities. The text (in English translation), is by current curators at the museum.
