Louvre's famed glass pyramid to celebrate 30th anniversary

Louvre Museum’s famed glass pyramid in Paris will celebrate its 30th anniversary this month. The courtyard around the pyramid is set to become the stage for a giant interactive performance orchestrated by French visual artist JR as part of the celebrations. A colossal 160,000 square feet paper image was pasted over the courtyard to prepare for the trompe l’oeil that will create the illusion of a larger pyramid emerging from rocks as if it had been discovered by an archaeological excavation.
