ELAINE SCIOLINO, a former New York Times Paris Bureau Chief, shares a journey of discovery and revelation into the world’s greatest museum. In Adventures in the Louvre author Elaine Sciolino shares stories about the royals and rulers who once occupied the grand palace; the artists whose paintings, sculptures, and artifacts were bought or plundered; and the people who are the museum’s lifeblood.
