Summary
The history of the difficult transportation of these monumental remains, of which some were lost en route, is told by Elisabeth Fontan, head conservator at the Louvre.
With the opening of the Richelieu wing of the Louvre, the display of these works has been completely modernized. Annie Gaubet, general conservator at the Louvre, and architect Jean-Pierre Adam describe the setting which was constructed in order to exhibit the remains as they originally appeared.
