The French are debating the seemliness of the Louvre renting out its collections around the world. But “the truth is that the Louvre has to raise a lot of money if it is to be run according to the standard of public service that the great American and British museums have set. If the Louvre wants to re-display a gallery it has to find the money itself, and that is exactly what the nine long loan exhibitions to the High Museum in Atlanta will pay for.”
