The Grand Dîner du Louvre

The Musée du Louvre welcomed nearly 300 distinguished guest who gathered in support of the institution for the latest edition of its annual Grand Dîner.

With the renewed support of Visa, founding partner of the Grand Dîner, which has committed to accompany the Louvre for the next three editions by financing its organisation, this year’s reception was held in the Daru Gallery, at the foot of the Winged Victory of Samothrace. On the theme of ’ Le Louvre, la nuit’, guests were offered a unique journey through some of the museum’s most beautiful galleries.

With gratitude to its patrons and numerous supporters, the Louvre is delighted to announce that it has surpassed its fundraising objective, raising €1.6 million. These funds will contribute to the preservation and safeguarding of the museum’s heritage.

The Louvre would once again like to extend its heartfelt thanks to all participants who have chosen to support this initiative again this year and who were keen to show their support for the museum.

This inaugural edition was a success, raising €1.4 million thanks to the participation of patrons of the museum, including major fashion houses, groups, and companies, as well as celebrities and philanthropists.
