| | History of The Louvre -- Part 1 of 5: Art in Context |
| | The museum's story is also the history of all museums and embraces the very notion of what we call art: the process by which the guardian lion of a Mesopotamian temple ends up in a glass cage bathed in French sunlight--or the picture of a self-possessed Florentine lady hangs behind a vertical, glass-fronted bunker. | | | During the long aristocratic centuries, the great collections of fine and decorative art housed in the Louvre were the property of its royal residents, the concept of a museum where the public might view such treasures not even dreamed of. | | | The story of the Louvre is also the story of Paris, and of France itself. |

| | Museums are seen to be educational instruments for the systematic organization and presentation of artistic and natural phenomena. | | | Although the museum's role is more educational, looking at art in either the Kunstkammer or the museum remains both a sensory as well as a pedagogical activity. | | | Today's art museums range in size and type from large, publicly financed institutions, like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, to small, privately supported rural ones like the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CN. |

Terra, an industrialist whose passion for American art led him to create a museum dedicated solely to its display, almost completely made up of works from his own collection and foundation. | | | Squeezed by the Art Institute's strong collection of American art and the Museum of Contemporary Art's interest in more recent work, the Terra still offers an excellent permanent collection (strongest in 19th-century painting, particularly American impressionism) and solid temporary exhibitions. | | | Terra's multimillion-dollar acquisition of S.F.B Morse's "Gallery of the Louvre" in 1982 and temporary exhibitions of William Merritt Chase, Winslow Homer and the Wyeth family drew a great deal of attention. |
