A Chinese Passion – The Collection of Mr. Thiers
From May 14 to August 25, 2025 at the Louvre Museum.
It's a relatively unknown fact: Chinese art is indeed present in the Louvre. The Department of Decorative Arts houses more than 600 works of Chinese origin, mainly from the collections of Adolphe Thiers and Adèle de Rothschild and the royal collections. Among them are true treasures. Recent work has brought to light those from the collection of Thiers, a journalist, historian, and major political figure of the 19th century (deputy, minister, prime minister, and, finally, president of the French Republic).
