We are pleased to invite you to the public conference held by Mrs. Doina Pașca Harsanyi, university professor at Central Michigan University (USA) and graduate of UVT, about how the Louvre museum was created, as a place to save works of art during the French Revolution by a certain Dominique Vivant Denon.
"In the main lobby of the Louvre, bathed in light through the glass walls of IM Pei's pyramid, we have a choice between the Richelieu scale and the Denon scale. Unlike Richelieu, Denon is not a name automatically recognized by museum visitors. But without Denon, the Louvre would not be the Louvre we know and love.”
"Vivant Denon was the right man at the right place and time. I don't know if it would find its place in our times. But whenever I have the chance to pass in front of the Denon staircase, I say thank you, monsieur.”
