To meet the current and future needs of the grand “Louvre 2020” project, a variety of phases and locations are planned, including the creation of a spectacular Islamic section in the Cour Visconti.

“The Cour Visconti will not be fully covered, but indeed remain visible,” says the architectural specifications, which are to be implemented by the architects Mario Bellini and Rudy Ricciotti. A “gentle and non-violent integration” of resolute contemporary architecture in a historic location.
