Medieval Louvre, Medieval exhibit at Louvre Museum, France
The Medieval Louvre exhibition presents artifacts, architectural elements, and multimedia displays illustrating the evolution from a fortress to a royal palace during medieval times.
Archaeological excavations revealed the original donjon base and two castle walls that remained intact after the medieval fortress transformation into the Louvre Palace.
The exhibition circuit includes displays of medieval craft objects, parade helmets, flasks, and architectural features that represent daily life in medieval Paris.
Visitors follow a loop path through northern wall moats, central gate structures, and the eastern fortification, with models explaining the castle's connection to Paris.
The medieval sections contain the original foundation of the north wall, central gate tower bases, and dungeon supports discovered during Grand Louvre construction work.
