Louvre exhibit to open at Minneapolis Institute of Arts
Some art pieces from the famed Louvre in Paris go on display Sunday at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
"The Louvre and the Masterpiece" features 62 works of art drawn from all eight of the Louvre's departments, covering 4,000 years.
The exhibition is made up of three sections, exploring the themes of changing definitions of a masterpiece; authenticity and connoisseurship; and the evolution of taste.
The exhibit comes to Minneapolis from the High Museum of Art in Atlanta. It's presented by U.S. Bank.
Tickets are free for MIA members. "The Louvre and the Masterpiece" runs through Jan. 10, 2010.
