Companies and foundations, support the Louvre-Lens

Two of the goals of the Louvre-Lens are to make culture accessible to all and to bring new life to an area that has experienced major problems. This museum project in the heart of Europe will have both a national and international impact. Take this opportunity to associate your company with an extraordinary venture!

Supporting the Louvre-Lens means linking your name to that of the Musée du Louvre in the provinces and contributing to the realization of this innovative project. You will also benefit from prestigious communication and public relations opportunities, and enjoy the tax benefits contained in the law of August 1, 2003.

You can partner the Louvre-Lens in a number of ways:

- Become an outstanding patron by associating your name with the construction of the museum
The Sanaa agency's project for the museum, on the site of a former mine yard, is a glass pavilion in which the public will be able to admire works of art from the Louvre. The 28,000 m² building, in the heart of a 22-hectare park, will be a hub of culture and life.

Become an outstanding patron and associate your name with the Louvre-Lens for years to come. Support the creation of the new museum, and have the name of your company engraved on the walls.

- Join the Louvre-Lens Corporate Circle
The aim of the Louvre-Lens Corporate Circle is to finance the arrival of the new museum by bringing together companies with a common interest in supporting its creation. The Circle offers a range of membership options to suit companies of all sizes and from all sectors. Membership entitles you to many benefits in the Nord-Pas de Calais region and at the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

- An opportunity for your company to support a popularization project or preview event
A host of events are planned throughout the Nord-Pas de Calais region, prior to the opening of the museum, to herald the arrival of the Louvre-Lens. Their aim is twofold: to explain the project in order to encourage its acceptance by local people, and to develop initiatives designed to raise public awareness of art and museums.
