The École du Louvre in Paris, Île-de-France, is a public higher education institution under the Ministry of Culture, founded in 1882 and located in the Palais du Louvre. It offers advanced studies in archaeology, epigraphy, art history, the history of civilizations, and museology, with all courses conducted in French. The school operates three study cycles—undergraduate, graduate, and postgraduate—and also runs a preparatory class for the conservateur du patrimoine exam. Beyond degree programs, it welcomes auditors to certain daytime courses and provides a range of offerings for the broad public, including evening, summer, regional, and junior courses, as well as professional courses for cultural heritage specialists. It also organizes scientific symposia, conferences, and seminars and publishes textbooks and research-focused works by its students. A notable recent development is a February 2025 partnership with Louis Vuitton, with the fashion house becoming a patron and providing grants.
