Museum Louvre Bible : Oriental Antiquities

This audio-guided tour of the Louvre with the Bible crosses the beautiful Department of Oriental Antiquities.

The journey follows the classic direction with a room-by-room movement. It begins with the Pujet courtyard and ends with the Levant rooms. More than 50 works and objects which have a biblical link are thus commented on.

The Bible proves to be a relevant guide for deciphering parts of the history of antiquity. Did you know, for example, that certain remains from before the common era are decorated with crosses, of which the swastika is one of the variants? And that on a stele appears, written in ancient Hebrew, the personal name of God? What other archaeological treasures attest to the birth in Babylonia of astrology, signs of the zodiac or the symbol of the trinity?

Certainly an original biblical journey which invites us to visit the Louvre in a unique way.

Do not hesitate to download this link now for a visit at home on the site (izi.TRAVEL), or better, in the rooms of the Louvre.

Enjoy your visit everyone!
