Location: France
The new expansion of the Louvre in Lens is 360 meters of steel and glass unfolding on top of an old coal mine and expected to attract 500.000 visitors each year. It is a museum that aims at educating visitors in how to look at art and on top of that revitalize the post-industrial town Lens in France.
The Pierresvives building unifies an archive, a library and a sports department within a single envelope.
The architects Rudy Ricciotti & Mario Bellini have designed the new wing dedicated to Islamic art at the Louvre Museum.
