Earlier this year an exhibition entitled The Decorative Arts of the Kings was held at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, one component of an important three-year program that associates the High Museum with the Musee du Louvre in Paris. In 2003 the directors of the two institutions, Michael Shapiro and Henri Loyrette, respectively, and their curators, started to organize this ambitious project, which will consist entirely of works of art from the Louvre arranged into a series of exhibitions to be seen at the High Museum over the course of three years, each devoted to a different set of themes.
