About the Project
This project was born from a love for this beautiful museum but also after seeing visitors struggling time after time to navigate this gem, so I decided to create an interactive guide with tips & tricks, walkthroughs, and recommendations for some of my (and my collaborator's) favorite collection items. We hope you enjoy it, and please feel free to reach out with any questions, suggestions, or comments you may have!
Mariana
Developer, designer & creator
Originally an economist, I fell in love with the arts & culture world when I was a kid getting stamps every weekend on my "Pasaporte del Arte" when visiting museums in Mexico City. When I joined the Louvre, I was then inspired to connect this interest with graphic and web design. Through this project, I am hoping to share with others how special this museum is through my eyes. Thank you for checking out the site and feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
Inès
Collaborator & curator
Illustrator and friend to the amazing developer of the project. As someone who has always been passionate about art, literature and languages, the Louvre came into my life whilst I was studying international management. I love trying my hand at anything new. Why drawing? Even before I could read or write, drawing always came naturally to me. If you have any projects in mind, please do get in touch, I’d be delighted to be involved!
