Louvre, Paris.


 Louvre, Paris. 

During World War II, in an attempt to preserve the cultural treasures held by the Louvre Museum, many of its works were moved and hidden for the duration of the conflict. 


At the end of August 1939, a week before the start of the Second World War, the first works left Paris for the castles of various French regions.  Between 1939 and 1945, nearly 4,000 paintings, sculptures, and other treasures from the Louvre left their royal residence to hide in the French countryside. 

The Mona Lisa, the Nike of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo... Among the hidden works, international treasures of inestimable value. 

In the photo the Venus ready for the move.
