This coal town in northern France was active from 1849 to 1986, when the last coal mine was closed. After the Nord-de-Calais mining basin was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012, the French Ministry of Culture drew inspiration from the economic transformation of France&#8217;s industrial cities to revitalize the area with a satellite Louvre museum. Bilbao, Spain, has been home to the Guggenheim Satellite since 1997. Thus was born the Palais du Louvre-Lance, housing temporary exhibitions and its iconic gallery (Gallery of Time), a 32,000-square-foot open space reserved for some 200 loans from Big Brother Paris.<\/p>\n<section class=\"article-related-links \/\/ a-pull-3@tablet lrv-u-text-align-center@tablet u-width-250@tablet lrv-u-padding-lr-050 lrv-a-floated-left@tablet lrv-u-margin-r-1 lrv-u-margin-b-1\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-font-family-secondary lrv-u-font-weight-bold lrv-u-font-size-26@tablet a-pull-up-above-item\">\n<p>\t\tRelated articles<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<div class=\"u-border-color-brand-primary u-border-a-10@tablet u-padding-lr-1@tablet u-padding-b-1@tablet\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  a-pull-up-item a-hidden@mobile-max u-box-shadow-medium lrv-u-margin-b-050\">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-2x3\" style=\"\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WechatIMG940.jpg?w=150&amp;h=150&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"View of a museum gallery showing several digital images scrolling on a floor-to-ceiling screen.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WechatIMG940.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/WechatIMG940.jpg?resize=400,267 400w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"\" width=\"\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\tAfter more than a decade of success, museum officials have decided to reconsider the Louvre&#8217;s flagship gallery in Lens and welcome new works from the Louvre.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\tAnnabelle T\u00e9n\u00e8ze, director of the Louvre in Lens, told reporters: &#8220;The idea is to constantly innovate and the original commitment is to allow the public to move freely and not to prioritize any medium or civilization.&#8221; <em>art news<\/em>. Because the works stand apart\u2014like sculptures that can be approached from different angles\u2014some have likened the Time Gallery to the historic glass easel exhibit at the Museum of Art in S\u00e3o Paulo.

This juxtaposition demonstrates the increasing presence of contemporary art in galleries throughout time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\t\u201cThe gallery does not require contemporary artists to be contemporary; it has written itself into our present. Yet those contemporary artists invite us to look at the past through their own eyes,\u201d says Tenez, who finds it interesting that Some recent pieces could easily be mistaken for older pieces. Jean Clark&#8217;s <em>Monument 1 <\/em>(2024) is a good example. Before you notice the football players at the top, this fountain sculpture looks like it belongs in the 15th century, as does the gryphon-shaped water lizard next to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\tThere are some differences between the original display of the Galerie du Temps, designed with the help of Studio Adrien Gard\u00e8re, and the re-hanging envisioned in collaboration with the agency AtoY, whose project is called &#8220;Fleuve du Temps&#8221; (Time The river) ), winding appropriately from the 4th century BC to the 19th century. The previous presentation included a group of works that shared a common podium. Each piece now stands or hangs individually for each visitor to fully appreciate. &#8220;The galleries seem to be more Greek and Roman, and now more Eastern or Egyptian,&#8221; Tenez said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-full alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:1024px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((768\/1024)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Galerie-du-temps_in-situ-12-Louvre-Lens_Manuel-Cohen.jpg?w=400\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Galerie-du-temps_in-situ-12-Louvre-Lens_Manuel-Cohen.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Galerie-du-temps_in-situ-12-Louvre-Lens_Manuel-Cohen.jpg?resize=400,300 400w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\" height=\"768\" width=\"1024\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-font-size-12 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-padding-tb-025\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"lrv-u-font-size-14@desktop\">Installation photos of the new gallery of the Louvre Museum in Lens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-grey\">Manuel Cohen\/Courtesy Louvre Lens<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\tThe Mus\u00e9e du Louvre in Lens aims to establish itself as one of the most inclusive museums in France as a test team evaluates exhibitions in the pipeline. \u201cOur temporary exhibitions are already evaluated by the public before they open, so why not do the same with our permanent collection?\u201d Tenez said of her thinking while working on the new gallery. The size, slant and height of wall text are reviewed based on the ratings of a small number of people. A diverse group of people\u2014200 adults, children, people with disabilities, regulars and newcomers\u2014were assigned to co-write the subtitles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\t&#8220;At the Louvre in Lens, anything is possible. You never know what you&#8217;re going to do there, but you know it&#8217;s going to be extraordinary,&#8221; said local resident Micheline, who lives near the museum. Whenever needed , she will appear. This time, it&#8217;s to help write text using the Easy Read method, a way of presenting text in an easy-to-understand format. Dedicated to Ferdinand Bol, 1658 <em>portrait of mathematician<\/em> For her, this may be the most challenging. A lot of research went into deciphering the role equations on the blackboard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">\n<p>\tUnlike her, another local, Karl, had never set foot in the Palais du Louvre-Lance until a friend told him about the River of Time project. \u201cNow, I see art with new eyes,\u201d he says <em>art news<\/em>. &#8220;I can even talk to Auguste Dumont&#8217;s <em>free genius<\/em>which tells part of my life story. &#8220;This 19th-century statue depicts an angel holding a broken chain in one hand, a symbol of freedom.
